graeca Verhoeff, 1905

Scutigera coleoptera graeca Verhoeff, 1905a

Type material.

Syntype, 1♀, ZMB 2414 / 2414 a–e (Verhoeff slide nrs 2771-2775); "Mykonos, Cykladen" [Mykonos, Cyclades, Greece]; leg. v. Oertzen IV.1887.

Present name.

Junior synonym of Scutigera coleoptrata Linnaeus, 1758; synonymized by Muralewitsch (1910).

Remarks.

The collector was Eberhard von Oertzen (1856-1908) who was a noted amateur specialist on beetles and collected extensively in the eastern Mediterranean (including the Greek islands) both in 1884-1885 and again in 1887. The present type material obviously stems from his second expedition. Further biographical notes can be found in Vrenozi and Dunlop (2013).
