Taxonomic notes. Described originally as a species of Geophilus View in CoL , it was cited for a long time under either Linotaenia or Scolioplanes View in CoL , until its classification in Strigamia View in CoL was established gradually since Crabill (1953). Despite the fact that S. crassipes View in CoL and S. acuminata View in CoL are obviously different in major features including the number of trunk segments ( Table 1 View TABLE 1 ), some confusion arose in the past: C.L. Koch (1837) misidentified a female S. acuminata View in CoL as a S. crassipes View in CoL , as recognized by Bergsøe & Meinert (1866) and subsequent authors; Verhoeff (1895) merged the two species into a single variable species, which he named Scolioplanes variabilis (see above under S. acuminata View in CoL ), a treatment that was later abandoned by the same author; S. crassipes View in CoL was occasionally treated as a subspecies of S. acuminata View in CoL ( Verhoeff 1898; Machado 1952), and Brolemann (1930) explicitly synonymized S. crassipes View in CoL under S. acuminata View in CoL . Different subspecies and varieties were distinguished under S. crassipes View in CoL or its synonyms ( Verhoeff 1935), which created a complex intraspecific taxonomy including many infrasubspecific entities (see below under “Unavailable names”). Some of these infraspecific taxa have been cited occasionally also recently, but most of them have been ignored.

Geophilus breviceps and Geophilus anauniensis are regarded confidently as synonyms of S. crassipes View in CoL since Latzel (1880), and Scolioplanes tauerorum View in CoL since Schubart (1967).

Scolioplanes mediterraneus View in CoL was described by Verhoeff (1928) and further specimens were referred later to it. The species was treated subsequently by the same author as either a variety or a subspecies of S. crassipes View in CoL ( Verhoeff 1935, 1940). It was maintained only occasionally as valid ( Folkmanová 1952; Jeekel 1964a), but most authors ignored it, without discussing its true identity. We consider here S. mediterraneus View in CoL to be a synonym of S. crassipes View in CoL (new synonymy) because Verhoeff (1928, 1934, 1935) acknowledged that it agrees almost completely with typical S. crassipes View in CoL , the only difference being in the relative size of the coxal pores in comparison to their ducts; however, this is probably a variable character without taxonomic value (our obs.); additionally, the same author later treated it as a mere variety of S. crassipes ( Verhoeff 1935) View in CoL .

Distribution: most part of continental Europe, from the Iberian peninsula to eastern Europe; also in the British Isles and the Azores.
