FLORES-GUERRERO, Ubaldo Sebastián; HUERTA DE LA BARRERA, Ismael Eduardo  y  CUPUL-MAGANA, Fabio Germán. Record of centipede Scolopendra polymorpha wood, 1861 (Chilopoda: Scolopendromorpha: Scolopendridae) in Maria Cleofas Island, Pacific Ocean, Mexico. Acta Zool. Mex [online]. 2018, vol.34, e3411194.

During a visit to María Cleofas Island, in the Marías Islands archipelago, located in the mouth of the Gulf of California, Mexico, three specimens of the tiger centipede Scolopendra polymorpha Wood, 1861 were collected (exemplars length: 73 mm, 91 mm, and 125 mm). To our knowledge, these specimens represent the first confirmed record of the species from María Cleofas Island. Probably, the tiger centipede, and centipede fauna in general from María Cleofas Island, comes from continental adjacent areas.
