Cormocephalus (C.) guildingii Newport, 1845one of the oldest names in this genusis described in detail for the first time, based on material from Western Mexico, Jamaica and the Dominican Republic; the range of this species is much expanded. Synonymy of C. impressus Porat, 1876 under C. guildingii is analyzed and confirmed. Relations between the latter and both C. ungulatus (Meinert, 1886) and C. andinus (Kraepelin, 1903) are analysed in detail. Both C. mundus Chamberlin, 1955 and C. (Cupipes) tingonus Chamberlin, 1957 are junior synonyms of C. ungulatus (Meinert, 1886). Cormocephalus mediosulcatus Attems, 1928 is suggested to be transferred to the genus Scolopendropsis as S. thayeri (Meinert, 1886) syn. nov. A new subclade (designated as the guildingii-subgroup) is established within the Neotropical clade of the genus Cormocephalus. It includes most Neotropical representatives of the gervaisianus species-group (sensu Schileyko Stagl 2004) united by nine diagnostic synapomorphies. Relations within the new subclade are analysed and its diagnosis is given.
Cormocephalus (C.) guildingii Newport, 1845 是该属中最古老的名称之一,本文首次详细描述了来自墨西哥西部、牙买加和多米尼加共和国的标本;该物种的分布范围大大扩展。分析并证实了 C. impressus Porat, 1876 是 C. guildingii 的同义词。详细分析了后者与 C. ungulatus (Meinert, 1886) 和 C. andinus (Kraepelin, 1903) 之间的关系。C. mundus Chamberlin, 1955 和 C. (Cupipes) tingonus Chamberlin, 1957 均为 C. ungulatus (Meinert, 1886) 的同物异名。建议将 Cormocephalus mediosulcatus Attems, 1928 转移到 Scolopendropsis 属中,作为 S. thayeri (Meinert, 1886) 的syn. nov。在 Cormocephalus 属的新热带分支内建立了一个新的亚分支(命名为 guildingii 亚群)。它包括大多数新热带 gervaisianus 种组(Schileyko Stagl 2004 意义)的代表,由九个诊断性的共衍征联合在一起。分析了新亚分支内的关系,并给出了其诊断特征。
