Description
Scolopendra pinguis is small, growing around 6.4 cm in length. Its antennae are blue and hairless at the base, fading to pale blue and covered with fine, short hairs. They have 17 articles (antennae segments).
Colour morphs. Pocock initially described S. pinguis as "of a deep uniform olivaceous tint", but a 2015 paper described four colour morphs that can be separated into a blackish monocromatic population and a dichromatic blue/yellow one, which are presented below:
