Size: ca 10-15 mm
T. Rickman collected this centipede from a pitfall trap and kindly sent it to CAS to donate as a specimen. I am seeing about 14 ocelli in 3 rows, about 20 antennal articles and a single row of coxal pores on the last four legs. His iNat observation of this specimen is at iNat here:
