Yes, I'm afraid you're right
- Let's try one other suggestion: Following the
CSIRO Key for Centipedes of Australia as far as the photo allows, I now landed on genus
Schendyla, leaving these as options for Britain:
Schendyla dentata (Brölemann & Ribaut 1911)
Schendyla nemorensis (C.L.Koch 1837)
Schendyla peyerimhoffi Brölemann & Ribaut 1911
I won't have time myself to do any more searching/comparing until tomorrow - (the history of Geophilomorpha seems rather complex when it comes to synonyms etc
) but maybe it's a lead...
Based on the Geophilomorpha topics here and some of my own photos and old publications by C.L.Koch I plan to
slowly work out an illustrated overview to some of the species for NL and "surrounding" countries (basically for my own fun/use but always willing to share), so ... should be interesting to find a "best fit" for your beast
