Scutigera linceci, the Arizona house centipede[2][3] (originally described as Cermatia linceci) is a species of the Scutigeromorph centipede found in the Southern United States and Central America.[4][5] Its species name refers to Dr Lincecum, a field naturalist.[6] In the wild, they live under stones and in hollow logs, but the species frequently enters human habitation.[3][6][7]
Appearance
[edit]Scutigera linceci is much smaller than the common house centipede, Scutigera coleoptrata,[note 1] growing to only 3.8 centimetres (1.5 in), and can further by differentiated from the latter species by the shape of the head and tergites, and its colouration.[3][7][8]
