Abstract

Lamyctes sp. (Chilopoda) is a predator of Scutigerella immaculata Newport and rapidly decimates symphylan soil storage cultures. In a limited soil environment this centipede controls symphylan populations to a level allowing for normal plant growth. Field populations of this predator are too small to effectively control symphylan injury to seeds and transplants.
