Use of "Delcore's Centipede" in United States
The article suggests that this species is commonly called Delcore's Centipede in the US. This is uncited, and in fact, googling for the phrase "Delcore's Centipede" will only return results to this Wikipedia page and other pages which have quoted this Wikipedia page. 158.121.83.116 (talk) 22:07, 22 July 2019 (UTC)Justin
 * In addition, reliable sources for Lithobius microps being found in the U.S. are very thin. I have found a couple of sources with distribution maps that show specimens found in the northeastern U.S. and Atlantic Canada (one map also shows specimens in Tasmania). Possible sources (none of which mention "Delcore"):
 * Bugguide Iowa State University, states L. microps found in U.S. and Canada, range otherwise unspecified.
 * ITIS, lists subspecies L. microps elongatus Verhoeff as being native to U.S.
 * Chilobase, states L. microps elongatus Verhoeff is found in California, New Mexico and Utah.
 * Not much to go on, but I do think we should remove "Delcore" until a reliable source can be found. I also note that none of those sources give any indication of how U.S. specimens differ from European ones in description and habitat. - Donald Albury 14:18, 2 November 2022 (UTC)
