Scolopendra hortensis Donovan, 1810The Natural History of British Insects 14: 23. Cryptops hortensisvar. pseudopunctatus Verhoeff, 1901Nova Acta Acad. Caesar. Leop. Carol. 77: 431. Cryptops hortensis pauciporus Broelemann, 1908Bull. Soc hist. nat. Toulouse 41: 65. Cryptops aenariensis Verhoeff, 1943Zool. Anz. 142:76, figs 7-10. Cryptops longipes Goux, 1950Bull. Mens. Soc. Linn. Lyon 19: 195.
Diagnosis. Length: about 20 mm. Without dark subcutaneous pigment. Cephalic plate with very short anterior longitudinal sutures extending only a short way back from the bases of the antennae, without posterior paramedian sutures. Clypeus with a pair of post-antennal setae, 4-12 somewhat irregular clypeals and 6-12 prelabrals. Labral sidepieces not notched. Anterior margin of forcipular coxosternite barely protuberant, with about four setae on each side on the anterior margin (Fig. 39). Poison gland calyx club-like (Fig. 40), somewhat variable in shape, situated mainly in the forcipular tibia. Posterior margin of sternite 21 slightly concave. Coxopleural pore field with about 30 pores, not extending to posterior margin, usually containing a single seta (Fig. 41), sometimes without. Prefemur of ultimate leg with ventral median longitudinal groove. With 5-9 tibial (Fig. 42) and 2-4 tarsal saw teeth (Fig. 43). Pretarsal accessory spurs of legs 1-20 very small (Fig. 44).
Distribution. Azores, Madeira, Canary Islands, Morocco, Iberia, France (incl. Corsica), Ireland, United Kingdom, Denmark, Norway, Netherlands, Germany, Poland, Czech Republic, Slovak Republic, Hungary, Italy (incl. Sardinia and Si cily), Switzerland, Austria, Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Montenegro, FYR Macedonia, Albania, mainland and insular Greece (incl. Crete), Bulgaria, Romania, N-Turkey, Ukraine, European Russia, Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Turkmenistan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan; introduced into United States, Hawaii, Canada, St. Helena; Australia (Tasmania), Christmas Island. Synanthropic in Scandinavia (Sweden, Finland).
Remarks. Cryptops hortensis pauciporusBrolemann, 1908 has no seta in the pore field. Pichler (1987)under Cryptopscf. hortensis described specimens from 1,000-1,300 m in Nordtirol, Austria, without the pronounced longitudinal ventral groove in ultimate prefemur seen in Cryptops hortensisand suggested that further sampling would be required to clarify its status.
