I'm working on a post for my blog on the mouth-parts of Scolopendra.

Due photography of the 2nd maxillary palps I found that the claw of the telopodite end in like pincer structure.

In the literature (books and some papers) this part described as a claw and no reference to the structure and functioning of an organ like pincer.

Examination of the structure of dead specimen under microscope did not clear whether there are moving parts in the pincer.

If there is no moving part in the structure, maybe the function is like fork?

Is anyone know any information regarding issue?

Comment for the question are welcome. In italian also.

I only can say that this claw/pincer is used by the scolopendra to empty parts of their preys that cannot be reached directly by the mouth, as the interior of coleopters.
This could be easier if this organ had the function of pincer.
