Taxonomic remarks. Pocock (1891) did not specify the number of specimens in his description and all specimens are syntypes. An additional type (♂, Birmanie, Palon) is present at the MNHN and more material of this and the former species are at the ZMUC and perhaps the BMNH (Stoev & Geoffroy 2004: 7–8).

Collection remarks. See Scutigera birmanica Pocock, 1891 .

Current systematic position. Junior synonym of Thereuopoda longicornis (Fabricius, 1793) according to Würmli (1979: 46).
