Abstract

The centipede is predatory arthropod that form head and numerous segments. It is known that there are about 3,000 species worldwide and 44 species (four species and seven families) in Korea. Among them, Scolopendra subspinipes called "Wang-ji-ne" has been known as an important medicinal resource and its value is expected to increase in the future. In this study, the Scolopendra subspinipes in Korea was classified as Chilopoda through morphological analysis of forcipule and venom gland, and a method for sex determination was established. These results are expected to be used as basic data for artificial breeding of Scolopendra subspinipes in the future, and through this, it is expected that it will greatly contribute to the expansion of the Scolopendra subspinipes market as medicinal resources.

지네는 머리와 체절이라고 부르는 수많은 마디가 이어진 형태를 이루는 절지동물목, 지네강에 속하는 동물로, 전 세계적으로 3,000여종, 국내에는 44종(4종 7과)이 분포하는 것으로 알려져 있다. 그중 왕지네는 유효물질 탐색 및 약리활성 연구를 위한 주요 생물자원으로 인식되고 있어 향후 그 가치는 더욱 높아질 것으로 전망되고 있다. 하지만 현재까지 이에 대한 생리적·생태학적 연구는 미비하여 이에 대한 연구를 확대할 필요가 있다. 본 연구에서는 왕지네의생태학적·생리학적 특성 연구에 대한 기초 연구로 왕지네에 대한 형태적 분석을 통한 분류학적 위치를 정립하고, 암·수 구별법을 제시하였다. 이것은 향후 왕지네 인공사육을 위한 기초자료로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대되며, 이를 통해 왕지네 시장 확대에 기여할 수 있을 것으로 예상된다.
