Strange House Centipede - Thereuonema tuberculata - female

Strange House Centipede - Thereuonema tuberculata - Female
Kenosha, Kenosha County, Wisconsin, USA
April 7, 2022
Size: About 25mm body length
There's a population of house centipedes like this at my school, they don't resemble S. coleoptrata, but instead look and are shaped more like Thereuonema tuberculata, an asian species. However, S. coleoptrata is the only species recorded from the US. On iNaturalist, there are many observations of similar ones from the Midwest, but most are either unidentified or placed with S. coleoptrata.
