“…1). Given that the morphological features of the specimens from Iriomote Island and northern Taiwan are consistent with those of the original description of Takakuwa (1939) (Chao & Chang 2008;Jonishi & Nakano 2022) and the monophyly of these specimens is strongly supported, it would be reasonable to treat all four specimens of "S. curtus" as a single species. Also considering that the distinctness of S. elegans and S. brevisulcatus is supported by both morphological and molecular data, the examined specimens are classified into four species: S. elegans, S. miyosii, S. brevisulcatus, and S. curtus.…”

“…The terminology for external morphology follows Lewis et al (2005) and Bonato et al (2010). Growth stadium (juvenile, subadult, or adult) was determined based on the body length (Schileyko 2014(Schileyko , 2018 and development of genital segments (Jonishi & Nakano 2022). For dissected adults and individuals with everted genital organs, sex was determined following Takakuwa (1933); the terminology for genital organs follows Demange & Richard (1969) and Iorio (2003).…”

The blind centipede genus Scolopocryptops Newport, 1844 comprises two lineages: the “Asian/North American” group and the “Neotropical/Afrotropical” group. The former can be further split into two groups, a clade comprising Scolopocryptops elegans (Takakuwa, 1937) and Scolopocryptops curtus (Takakuwa, 1939), and a clade comprising all other “Asian/North American” species. Here, Scolopocryptops miyosii sp. nov. from Kyushu and Amami Island and Scolopocryptops brevisulcatus sp. nov. from Izena Island and Okinawa Island in southern Japan are described. The two new species have external features similar to S. elegans and S. curtus. They can be distinguished from most other “Asian/North American” Scolopocryptops by the absence of complete sulcus/sulci along the lateral margin of the cephalic plate and the presence of sternal longitudinal sulci. They can be distinguished from each other by several external features, such as the density of antennal setae and the shape of the anterior margin of the coxosternite. Phylogenetic analyses using nuclear and mitochondrial markers also support the monophyly of the four species, which form a clade sister to all other “Asian/North American” Scolopocryptops.

Centipedes of the genus Scolopocryptops Newport, 1844 are blind species mostly described from the New World and East Asia. In this study, a Japanese species, S. quadristriatus (Verhoeff, 1934), which is characterised by four longitudinal keels on the tergites, is re-described, based on the likely holotype preserved in the Zoologische Staatssammlung München and specimens newly collected from near the type locality. In addition, S. longisetosussp. nov., a new species that bears tergal keels like S. quadristriatus, is described from the Ryukyu Islands in Japan and Taiwan. Although the presence of four keels on tergites is unique to these two species, phylogenetic analyses using nuclear and mitochondrial markers showed that S. longisetosussp. nov. is not sister to S. quadristriatus. The obtained phylogeny indicates that the tergal longitudinal keels evolved in parallel within Scolopocryptops or that the presence of keels represents a plesiomorphic character of the clade containing these species.
