NE California centipede - Female
Susan River canyon, Lassen County, California, USA
November 26, 2021
Size: ca 10-15 mm
T. Rickman caught this centipede in a pitfall trap and kindly donated it to CAS as a specimen. It has about 24 antennal articles and roughly 16 ocelli in 3-4 rows. I see coxal pores on the last four leg pairs - perhaps genus Lithobius? I think some of the tergites are produced (a shallow U-shape posteriorly). There are no live photos on iNat for this one.
