First Virginia Records for Three Species of Centipeds (Geophilomorpha: Schendylidae)

The recent annotated list of Virginia centipeds (Hoffman, 1995) admitted 56 species confirmed for the state as well as 19 others considered as likely to be found here. Yet, despite ongoing collecting efforts in the past six years, disappointingly little augmentation of the original total has taken p...
