Abstract

Thereuonema tuberculata (Wood) (Scutigeromorpha: Scutigeridae) is in exotic centipede found in the eastern and midwestern United States. I present new records for this centipede in Nebraska and the first report from Kansas. Bionomics observations on the food preferences, behavior, and endoparasites of centipedes are discussed and compared with those previously described from its native range in Asia.
