''Scolopendra abnormis'' (Serpent Island centipede) is a species of centipede in the family Scolopendridae that is endemic to Mauritius.〔 It only occurs on two outlying islands, Round Island and Serpent Island. On Serpent Island it is very common, reaching densities of 12 adults per square metre in suitable habitat. ==Evolution== Ancestors of ''Scolopendra abnormis'' likely colonized Mauritius a few million years ago but became extinct there because of introduced predators, with only relict populations surviving on outlying islands. ''Scolopendra abnormis'' are unable to swim and probably reached their current habitats by rafting or during ice ages when Round and Serpent Islands were connected to Mauritius through land bridges.〔
