grandidieri Saussure & Zehntner, 1897: pl. 3, fig. 13, pl. 12, fig. 6 [Scolopendra]. Illustration without description. Saussure & Zehntner (1902: 302-304) gave a description of both sexes and the locality information “ Madagascar, Grandidier, Douliot & Alluaud (Musée de Paris); Fianarantosa (Musée de Genève); Côte occidentale de Madagascar, Voeltzkow; Ile d’Aldabra, Voeltzkow.” The MHNG collection contains one specimen in alcohol under the name Scolopendra grandidieri. There is no data label but the identification labels in the jar have “ Madagascar ” written on them and there is no reason to suppose that this specimen is not a syntype. The other syntypes are presumably in the MNHN and SMF, although neither of their online databases lists this species. A junior synonym of Scolopendra morsitans Linnaeus, 1758
