Popis: The need for standardising the terminology of the external taxonomic characters of scolopendromorph centipedes is addressed. Single terms are proposed for most characters, bearing in mind those currently in use for the Lithobiomorpha and Geophilomorpha; alternatives are suggested for others. A table compares this nomenclature with those employed in recent treatments of these three orders and is accompanied by explanatory notes. Setal terminology and that for features restricted to individual families and genera are discussed separately.
