Asanada agharkari is a species of small Scolopendrid centipede in the subfamily Scolopendrinae.[1][2]
Appearance
[edit]Asanada agharkari is small, measuring between 13 and 32 mm (0.51 and 1.26 in) in length.[1][3] The antennae have 17 articles, though Gravely initially described the species with 17-18.[3] They are dark reddish-purple in colour, but fade to pale brown or grey when preserved in alcohol.[1]
Subspecies
[edit]Asanada agharkari singhbhumensis
[edit]Asanada agharkari singhbhumensis is found in the Singhbhum district, and is distinguishable from A. a. agharkari only by colour; it is grey with a dark line down the middle of its trunk.[1]
Taxonomy
[edit]Asanada agharkari was initially described by Frederic Henry Gravely in 1912 in the seventh volume of the Records of the Indian Museum, a journal based in Calcutta.[1] He gave it the genus name Pseudcryptops (Pocock, 1891), a name which has since been synonymized with Asanada, and also described two subspecies: A. a. agharkari and A. a. singhbhumensis.[4][1][2] The last taxonomic review was done in 1978 by Jangi and Dass, in the same paper that synonymized Pseudocryptops with Asanada.[5][3][6]
The type specimens are alcohol-preserved at the Zoological Survey of India in Calcutta. There is one adult and one juvenile, both are slightly damaged and have suffered decolourization due to long preservation.[3]
Distribution
[edit]A. agharkari is endemic to India and is found the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, as well as the states of Bihar, Maharashtra, Odisha (Orissa), and Madhya Pradesh.[7] The type locality (of the lectotype) is Koyna Valley in the Western Ghats, in Satara District in Maharashtra.[5]
