摘要
基於文獻的分析與比對台灣的標本，列出台灣產的唇足動物有 63 種分別屬
於 4 目 12 科 21 屬：蚰蜒目(Scutigeromorpha)為 1 科 3 屬 4 種；石蜈蚣目
(Lithobiomorpha)為 2 科 4 屬 19 種；蜈蚣目(Scolopendromorpha)為 3 科 5 屬 16
種；地蜈蚣目(Geophilomorpha)為 6 科 9 屬 24 種。其中 3 種地蜈蚣為此次研究的
新紀錄種：Mecistocephalus karasawai Uliana, Bonata ＆ Minelli, 2007, Arrup
ishiianus Uliana, Bonata ＆ Minelli, 2007 and Tygarrup takarazimensis Miyosi,
1957。此外，分析台灣唇足動物物種的地理分布，台灣特有的唇足動物有 11 種：
Thereuopoda longicornis (Fabricus, 1793)、Lithobius bidens Takakuwa, 1939、
Lithobius bidivisa Takakuwa, 1939、Lithobius kiayiensis Wang 1959、Lithobius
lineatus Takakuwa, 1939、Lithobius obtusus (Takakuwa, 1941)、Lithobius ongi
Takakuwa, 1939、Ityphilus boteltobogensis (Wang, 1955)、Arrup sauteri (Silvestri,
1919)、Mecistocephalus change Uliana, Bonato & Minelli 2007、Mecistocephalus
monticolens Chamberlin, 1920。
Abstract
Based on the analysis of published information and the reexamination of
Taiwanese Chilopod centipedes. A total of 63 species from Taiwan are identified,
which belong to 21 genera 12 families 4 orders: 4 species in 3 genera of
Scutigeromorpha; 19 species in 4 genera 2 families of Lithobiomorpha; 16 species in
5 genera 3 families of Scolopendromorpha; 24 species in 9 genera 6 families of
Geophilomorpha. 3 Geophilomorpha species are new record for Taiwan in this study:
Mecistocephalus karasawai Uliana, Bonata ＆ Minelli, 2007, Arrup ishiianus Uliana,
Bonata ＆ Minelli, 2007 and Tygarrup takarazimensis Miyosi, 1957. Furthermore,
we analyzed the biogeography of Taiwanese Chilopoda centipedes, following 11
species are endemic species of Taiwan: Thereuopoda longicornis (Fabricus, 1793),
Lithobius bidens Takakuwa, 1939, Lithobius bidivisa Takakuwa, 1939, Lithobius
kiayiensis Wang 1959, Lithobius lineatus Takakuwa, 1939, Lithobius obtusus
(Takakuwa, 1941), Lithobius ongi Takakuwa, 1939, Ityphilus boteltobogensis (Wang,
1955), Arrup sauteri (Silvestri, 1919), Mecistocephalus change Uliana, Bonato &
Minelli 2007, Mecistocephalus monticolens Chamberlin, 1920 (Table 2).
