I was at lunch and did a quick skim through when I saw this, cheers for picking up on it.

Cryptops is a Scolopendromorph, whole Lithobius and Henicops are Lithobiomorphs on the other hand.

I do agree it isn't Geophilomorpha, instead a Lithobiomorph, but not Cryptops.

I would be happy to discuss this further

Not a juvenile, just a small species. Looks like it recently moulted too

Don’t seem to be able to confirm this at the moment. I think it is a juvenile, probably a Scolopendroid rather than a Geophilomorph, but can’t quite see the head clearly enough to be sure
