Greater Cryptops
Cryptops anomalans
Cryptops anomalans is a centipede in the genus Cryptops that is mainly distributed in Europe. It can reach a length of 50 millimeters and is one of the largest species of this genus. Cryptops anomalans can easily be confused with its two Central European congeners C. hortensis and C. parisi. However, it can be identified through the characteristic ‘X’ suture on the first tergite.
