This Nearctic species was previously reported from Alaska but not from Canada (Kevan 1983; Behan-Pelletier 1993). More than 20 specimens of this species, determined by Ralph Crabill, were recently discovered in the Canadian National Collection of Insects, Arachnids, and Nematodes and were collected at Reindeer Station, Northwest Territories by J.R. Vockeroth on 25 June 1948 (accession number CNC 627306). This is a new Canadian record.</p><p>Arctogeophilus insularis Attems. This Nearctic species was described from British Columbia, with the type locality published as “Vancouver, Manaimo” (sic; Attems 1947), which is interpreted as Vancouver Island, Nanaimo. This record was missed in earlier Canadian checklists.</p><p>Arenophilus bipuncticeps (Wood) . Brodie and White (1883) first recorded this native species from undisclosed localities in Canada but misspelled the specific name as “ bipunctatus ”. Peters (1954) reported the species from Ontario, and Crabill (1952) reported it from Nova Scotia. It is likely that this widely distributed species is also present in Québec and New Brunswick.</p><p>Cheiletha kincaidi Chamberlin. This species was collected from East Bunsby Island, British Columbia in August 1955 and was identified by Ralph Chamberlin in 1956 (Carl and Guiguet 1956), which was too late to include the record in Chamberlin’ s description of the species in 1955. This Canadian record was overlooked by all subsequent authors and was just recently rediscovered. The repository of the material is unknown.</p><p>Geophilus carpophagus Leach. Brodie and White (1883) reported this adventive species from undisclosed localities in Canada. There is no other report of this species from North America. As the material upon which this record is based has not yet been located, this record should be considered questionable.</p><p>Geophilus electricus (Linnaeus) . In North America, this adventive species is reported only from St. John’ s, Newfoundland and Labrador (Palmén 1954), where two specimens were found in 1949. The species is considered established there .</p><p>Geophilus flavus (De Geer) . This adventive species was previously recorded from Canada as the synonym Necrophloeophagus longicornis Leach, with localities in Ontario (Crabill 1952) and four widely separated localities in Newfoundland (Palmén 1954).</p><p>Geophilus glyptus (Chamberlin) . This species was collected from East Bunsby Island, British Columbia in August 1955 and was identified by Ralph Chamberlin in 1956 (Carl and Guiguet 1956), which was too late to include the record in Chamberlin’ s description of the species in 1955. This Canadian record was overlooked by all subsequent authors and was just recently rediscovered. The repository of the material is unknown; however, it is not present in the Royal British Columbia Museum (Victoria) or the University of British Columbia (Vancouver) holdings of Chilopoda .</p><p>Geophilus proximus Koch. This adventive species is recorded only from Ontario in Canada (Crabill 1958).</p><p>Geophilus terraenovae Palmén. This species was described from Newfoundland, where it is widespread, and is also found in southern Labrador and on the French island of Miquelon near the southern coast of Newfoundland (Palmén 1954). The holotype and paratypes represent the only known determined material.</p><p>Geophilus vittatus (Rafinesque) . This Nearctic species is relatively widely distributed in the United States of America (Mercurio 2010), but in Canada, it is known only from Ontario (reported as the synonym Geophilus rubens Say; Chamberlin 1920) and Québec (as the synonym Geophilus deducens Chamberlin; Matthewman and Pielou 1971).</p><p>Pachymerium ferrugineum (Koch) . This species may be of Holarctic or of Palaearctic origin and inadvertently introduced to North America. It has an unusual distribution in North America, including in the Yukon and Alaska and in the eastern half of the United States of America, south to Texas and Florida. In Canada, Kevan (1979) reported it as “subarctic”, but it was not included in the revised checklist provided by Kevan (1983). Behan-Pelletier (1993) reports it from the Yukon Territory, but the source of this record is unknown.</p><p>Taiyuna undetermined species. Kevan (1979) recorded T. opita (Chamberlin) from British Columbia, which seems to be a disjunct distribution as the only other records of this species are from the states of Illinois, Michigan, and Wisconsin, United States of America. Interestingly, Kevan (1983) does not list this species from Canada, but he speculates that the Taiyuna specimens from British Columbia belong to T. occidentalis (Meinert) . The repository for the British Columbia specimens of this genus is unknown. Until the specimens can be located and studied, it is best to record this as Taiyuna sp.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03DDAE59FFCBFF96E8F81C8D5D1888F6	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Bonato et al. (2012) state that records of this species from North America require confirmation because of “probable confusion with S. chionophila ”. Thus, the record of this species from Québec is considered tentative until the material is re-examined.</p><p>Strigamia chionophila (Wood) . This Nearctic species was thought by several authors (e.g., Chamberlin 1920; Eason 1964) to be synonymous with S. acuminata, although the synonymy was never formalised. Bonato et al. (2012) recently examined both species and concluded that they are distinct. The holotype was collected at Fort Simpson, Northwest Territories, the only jurisdiction reported for this species by Kevan (1983) and Behan-Pelletier (1993); however, Chamberlin (1920) reported the species from Ottawa, Ontario and claimed that this was one of the most abundant North American centipedes, particularly in northern regions, and Crabill (1952) reported it from Alberta and Ontario.</p><p>Strigamia parviceps Wood. This Nearctic species was reported from British Columbia by Chamberlin (1954, 1963) and Kevan and Scudder (1989). Bonato et al.

Early Canadian records of this Palaearctic species from Ontario (Crabill 1952) and Newfoundland (Palmén 1954) were published under the synonym Lamyctes fulvicornis Meinert. Mercurio (2010) did not list it from the Northwest Territories, but Behan-Pelletier (1993) did. The species was also recorded from Alaska by Mercurio (2010), so undoubtedly it is in the Yukon, too. Kevan and Scudder (1989) reported this species, as L. fulvicornis, from Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, and from Kamloops and Burnaby Mountain, British Columbia. The species is clearly widely distributed throughout Canada. In Newfoundland, it is frequently found in natural habitats far from human habitation (Palmén 1954).</p><p>Zygethobius columbiensis Chamberlin. This native species was described from a single female collected near Kaslo, British Columbia and was unknown from any other jurisdiction until reported from Wagner Bog, near Edmonton, Alberta (Kevan and Scudder 1989). However, the Alberta specimens do not exactly fit the description, so some uncertainty remains about the determination. It is unknown who determined the material and where the specimens reside. They do not reside at the Royal Alberta Museum (Edmonton, Alberta), which coordinated the extensive sampling of the Wagner Bog in the late 1980s and was possibly the source of this record.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03DDAE59FFC8FF97E8E71B625BAA8978	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

This native species was listed from Alaska but not from Canada by Behan-Pelletier (1993). However, there is a specimen in the Canadian National Collection of Insects, Arachnids, and Nematodes from Reindeer Station, Northwest Territories collected by J.R. Vockeroth on 22 June 1948 (accession number CNC 627302) and was later identified by Ralph Crabill according to the determination label. This represents a new Canadian record.</p><p>Bothropolys columbiensis Chamberlin. The holotype from Kaslo, British Columbia represents the only known record for this species (Mercurio 2010).</p><p>Bothropolys ethus Chamberlin. Behan-Pelletier (1993) listed this native species from British Columbia, but Mercurio (2010) lists it from only Alaska. The location of the British Columbia material is unknown. This record should be considered questionable until the Canadian material is located and re-examined.</p><p>Bothropolys hoples (Brölemann) . This native species is distributed throughout the Pacific Northwest, and Chamberlin (1925a) recorded it from Kaslo, British Columbia.</p><p>Bothropolys multidentatus (Newport). Kevan (1979) considered this species to be adventive; however, it is most likely native (Mercurio 2010). It is distributed throughout the eastern half of the United States of America (Mercurio 2010) and from Ontario and New Brunswick (Kevan 1983).</p><p>Bothropolys victorianus Chamberlin. The holotype of this native species is from Victoria, British Columbia (Chamberlin 1925b). The species is also found in Alaska and Oregon, United States of America (Mercurio 2010).</p><p>Ethopolys californicus (Daday) . Kevan (1983) reported this native species from British Columbia as Ethopolys sierravagus (Chamberlin), which is now a junior synonym. The species is distributed from California to Washington in the United States of America (Mercurio 2010).</p><p>Ethopolys spectans Chamberlin. This native species was described from Spectacle Lake, Vancouver Island, British Columbia and is still known only from the type material, which is stored in the National Museum of Natural History in Washington, D.C., United States of America (Mercurio 2010). Kevan (1983) reported a putative new species similar to E. spectans, but because there is no species description or any authoritative taxonomic treatment, the putative new species is not recognised as valid.</p><p>Garibius undetermined species. Palmén (1954) reported a Lithobius species from Newfoundland and suggested it may belong to Garibius . The farthest north that Garibius has been recorded is Massachusetts and New York state, United States of America ( G. opicolens Chamberlin; Mercurio 2010), so Newfoundland would be a considerable range extension for this genus. For now, this record is maintained, but the material (1 male; University of Helsinki Museum of Zoology, Helsinki, Finland) should be re-examined to ascertain if it is indeed Garibius .</p><p>Lithobius (Lithobius) forficatus (Linnaeus) . This Palaearctic species was first reported from Canada (undisclosed localities) by Brodie and White (1883). Chamberlin (1925b) recorded it from Newfoundland, Nova Scotia, Ontario, and Québec. Herein, we record it for the first time from New Brunswick (Shediac, 5.ix.1926, F. Johansen, 1 specimen, accession number CNC 627304) and Prince Edward Island (Tyne Valley, 13.ix.1926, F. Johansen, 1 specimen, accession number CNC 627305), based on specimens in the Canadian National Collection of Insects, Arachnids, and Nematodes. The species is also present on the islands of St. Pierre et Miquelon, France (Palmén 1954).</p><p>Lithobius (Lithobius) melanops Newport. In Canada, this Palaearctic species is known only from two localities in southeastern Newfoundland, where specimens were collected in 1949 (Palmén 1954).</p><p>Lithobius (Sigibius) microps Meinert. This Palaearctic species was previously reported from Canada under the synonyms Lithobius duboscqui Brölemann and Sigibius puritanus Chamberlin. The earliest record for Canada was from Québec (Chamberlin 1920). Judd (1964) first reported the species from Ontario. In Newfoundland, it was recorded from several localities in the southeastern part of the island (Palmén 1954).</p><p>Nadabius aristeus Chamberlin. Crabill (1952) recorded this species from Ontario, but this record was overlooked in later lists of species in Canada (e.g., Kevan 1979, 1983; Behan-Pelletier 1993).</p><p>Nadabius eigenmanni (Bollman) . A syntype of this native species is from Glacier, British Columbia (Mercurio 2010). Matthews (1935) was of the opinion that this species is synonymous with N. jowensis (Meinert) but did not formalise the synonymy as the opinion resides solely in a Ph.D. thesis. Thus, N. eigenmanni is considered a valid species pending further examination.</p><p>Nadabius jowensis (Meinert) . This native species was first recorded from Canada (Rondeau Park, Ontario) by Judd (1957), who reported it being eaten by a salamander. Because the material was seemingly destroyed and is no longer available for study, and because no further records of this species are known from Canada, this record must be considered questionable. This species is sometimes mistakenly reported as Nadabius “ iowensis ” in the literature.</p><p>Nampabius lundii (Meinert) . Crabill (1952) recorded this native species from Canada (Ontario), but the record was overlooked in later lists of species in Canada (e.g., Kevan 1979, 1983; Behan-Pelletier 1993).</p><p>Oabius undetermined species. Kevan (1983) recorded an undetermined Oabius species from the Northwest Territories. This might be Oabius alaskanus Chamberlin, which was recorded from Haines, Alaska (Mercurio 2010), but this has yet to be confirmed.</p><p>Paobius albertanus Chamberlin. This species was described from Alberta (likely Banff), but there is some confusion about the location of the holotype; the National Museum of Natural History (Washington, D.C.) and Museum of Comparative Zoology (Cambridge, Massachusetts) each have a specimen with a holotype designation, both collected at the same place and time (Mercurio 2010). Mercurio (2010) comments that this native species is likely synonymous with Paobius columbiensis Chamberlin. The only recorded locality for P. albertanus is the type locality.</p><p>Paobius columbiensis Chamberlin. This species is known only from the type locality, Kaslo, British Columbia (Mercurio 2010).</p><p>Paobius orophilus Chamberlin. This species is known only from the type locality, Kaslo, British Columbia (Mercurio 2010).</p><p>Pokabius eremus Chamberlin. This species is known only from the type locality, Kaslo, British Columbia (Mercurio 2010).</p><p>Simobius ginampus (Chamberlin) . This species was first reported from Canada (British Columbia) by Kevan (1983), and no further Canadian records are known.</p><p>Sonibius lindrothi (Palmén) . This native species was described as Lithobius lindrothi Palmén from Newfoundland, where it was found in several localities on the west coast (Palmén 1954), and is still known only from there. Palmén (1954) expressed some uncertainty about whether this species was indeed new or conspecific with Sonibius politus (McNeill) . He did not compare the specimens to type material but relied on comparison to a published description by Chamberlin. The Newfoundland specimens should be compared to the syntype (s) of S. politus .</p><p>Sonibius politus (McNeill in Bollman). This species was first reported from Canada (Ontario and Québec) by Chamberlin (1920) .</p><p>Zygethopolys pugetensis tiganus Chamberlin and Wang. This subspecies is known only from the type locality of Vancouver, British Columbia, where it was collected in 1933 (Mercurio 2010).</p><p>ORDER SCOLOPENDROMORPHA</p><p>Family Cryptopidae</p><p>Cryptops anomalans Newport. This Palaearctic species was reported by Kevan (1983) from southern Ontario and Québec, where it was said to occur in greenhouses. However, Kevan (1983) admits that this species could have been confused with Cryptops hortensis (Donovan) . Shelley (2002) states that he has never seen specimens from North America. It is unknown where the specimens putatively collected from Canada reside. This record is considered tentative until the material is located and re-examined.</p><p>Cryptops hortensis (Donovan) . This Palaearctic species is known from scattered locations across North America (Shelley 2002). The Canadian record is based on one specimen collected from a greenhouse in Chilliwack, British Columbia in 1948 (Shelley 2002), which is hardly convincing evidence of establishment. This record is treated as questionable and may simply represent an incidental capture of an imported specimen.</p><p>Cryptops parisi Brölemann. Palmén (1954) recorded this Palaearctic species from Newfoundland, based on two specimens found in a winter-warm greenhouse in a market garden in St. John’ s; however, he believed that the species could not become established outdoors in Newfoundland because of the cold climate. The species is not recorded from anywhere else in North America. It seems unlikely that this species has persisted in greenhouses in Newfoundland since 1949. This material should be re-examined in light of current taxonomic knowledge.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03DDAE59FFC9FF99E8F81F755D898E49	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

This Nearctic species was first reported from Canada (unspecified localities) by Brodie and White (1883). In Ontario, it is known only from the Niagara region (Shelley 2002). Kevan (1983) reported it from British Columbia; however, Shelley (2002) asserts that records of this species from British Columbia are Scolopocryptops spinicaudus Wood, a native western species also found in Washington, Oregon, California, and Colorado.</p><p>Scolopocryptops spinicaudus Wood. Records of this native species from British Columbia were misidentified as S. sexspinosus until corrected by Shelley (2002). The species is distributed along the coast of British Columbia, including Vancouver Island, Haida Gwaii, and on other islands (Shelley 2002).</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03DDAE59FFC7FF99E8F8184E5E8E8DB2	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

This species, initially thought to be of European origin, now has a cosmopolitan distribution (Mercurio 2010). It was first reported from Canada (undisclosed localities) as Cermata forceps Rafinesque (Brodie and White 1883) . Mercurio (2010) reports this species from only British Columbia, Ontario, and Québec in Canada and overlooked the records from Alberta and Saskatchewan reported by Behan-Pelletier (1993). Of the almost 800 observations of this species in Canada included in iNaturalist (www.inaturalist.org), the vast majority are from southern Ontario and Québec. The species is domiciliary and may have a wider jurisdictional distribution in Canada than currently reported.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03DDAE59FFC4FF9AE8E71DC25C058A8C	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
