Taxonomic remarks. This species was placed in the genus Rhoda Meinert, 1866 for a long time but Rhoda was recently synonymized with Scolopendropsis Brandt, 1841 (Schileyko et al. 2020). The latter name has priority.
Current systematic position. Scolopendropsis spinifer (Kraepelin, 1903); transferred from Cupipes by Attems (1930: 61) as Arthrorhabdus. Assigned to Rhoda by Shelley & Chagas Jr (2004: 533) which is now a synonym of Scolopendropsis.
