Scolopendra angulata is a species of centipede commonly found in Barbados. [1] They are also found in Venezuela and neighbouring countries in South America and the Caribbean such as Ecuador and Colombia. [2] [3] [4]
There are three subspecies; Scolopendra angulata angulata (Newport, 1844), Scolopendra angulata explorans (Chamberlin, 1914), and Scolopendra angulata moojeni (Bücherl, 1943). [3] [4] The latter subspecies is excluded by some sources. [5] [2] S. s. explorans was originally classified by Chamberlin as Scolopendra explorans, and was only proposed a subspecies of S. angulata by Bücherl in 1942 . [6]
