Cryptops parisi is a species of centipede in the family Cryptopidae.[1][2]

Description and habitat

[edit]

The species is 30 millimetres (1.2 in) long or more.[3] It is identified by the closely spaced (often fused) teeth on the tibial and tarsal combs of the last legs. It lives under stones, logs and leaf litter.[4] It is found in Great Britain, Ireland, central Europe and Canada.[5][6][7][8]

Life cycle

[edit]

A 2020 study examining the development of the cephalic capsule and coxopleuron identified ten late post-embryonic stages in C. parisi's life cycle: three pre-adult stages (adolescens I, II, and III) and seven adult stages (one maturus junior stage, four maturus, and two maturus senior stages). There was no sexual dimorphism in these characteristics.[9]
