Abstract: "The mygalomorph spider genus Myrmekiaphila comprises 11 species known only from the southeastern United States. The type species, M. foliata Atkinson, is removed from the synonymy of M. fluviatilis (Hentz) and placed as a senior synonym of M. atkinsoni Simon. A neotype is designated for M. fluviatilis and males of the species are described for the first time. Aptostichus flavipes Petrunkevitch is transferred to Myrmekiaphila. Six new species are described: M. coreyi and M. minuta from Florida, M. neilyoungi from Alabama, M. jenkinsi from Tennessee and Kentucky, and M. millerae and M. howelli from Mississippi"--P. [1].
Description: 30 p. : ill. (some col.), maps ; 26 cm.
Includes bibliographical references (p. 30).

There may be people who like centipedes. I have seen people handling tarantulas and scorpions, but never a centipede handler. I would regard such a person with deep suspicion...Now what sort of man or woman or monster would stroke a centipede on its underbelly "And here is my big good centipede." If such a man exists, I say kill him without more ado. He is a traitor to the human race.

hi,
I made a small Google Earth file showing worldwide distribution of Dipluridae. There are also some sites in the USA marked.
The file can be downloaded here: http://dipluridae.de/Dipluridae.kmz (rightclick --> save as)
Have fun with it
BTW: I regularly update this file (as soon as I get new first descriptions)

i also really like that google earth file. i think that makes a very handy way of showing the distribution of a species.
again, thanks man!
