Scolopendra angulata Newport, 1844

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]
