Abstract

The collection of the Mus um National d Histoire Naturelle, Paris (France) houses 16 species of scutigeromorph centipedes belonging to 10 genera of all the three hitherto known families. Two new combinations and two new synonymies are proposed: Tachythereua hispanica (Meinert, 1886) = Tachythereua maroccana var. spinosa Ribaut, 1911 New Synonym; Thereuonema microstoma (Meinert, 1886) New Combination = Thereuonema syriaca Verhoeff, 1905 New Synonym; Pselliodes rugosus (Newport, 1844) New Combination.
