Cryptops parisi explained

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

Description and habitat

The species is 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

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]
