This work (Bulletin No. 40) is one of a series of papers intended to
illustrate the collections belonging to the United States, and consti-
tuting the National Museum, of which the Smithsonian Institution
was placed in charge by the act of Congress of August 10, 184G.

The publications of the National Museum consists of two series — the
Bulletin, of which this is No. 46, in continuous series, and the Proceed-
ings, of which the sixteenth volume is now in press. A small edition
of each paper in the Proceedings is distributed in pamphlet form to
specialists in advance of the publication of the bound volume.

The Bulletin of the National Museum, the publication of whicJi was
commenced in 1875, consists of elaborate papers based upou the col-
lections of the Museum, reports of expeditious, etc., while the Proceed-
ings facilitate the prompt publication of freshly-acquired facts relating
to biology, anthropology, and geology, descriptions of restricted ; groups
of animals and plants, the discussion of particular questions relative
to the synonymy of species, and the diaries of minor expeditions.

Other papers, of more general popular interest, are printed in the
Appendix to the Annual Report.

Full lists of the publications of the Museum may be found in the
current catalogues of the publications of the Smithsonian Institution.

Papers intended for publication in the Proceedings and Bulletin of
the National Museum are referred to the Committee on Publications,
composed as follows: T. H. Bean (chairman), A. Howard Clark, R. E.
Earll, Otis T. Mason, Leonhard Stejneger, Frederick W. True, and
Lester F. Ward.

INTRODUCTORY NOTE.

SIR : I have the honor to submit for publication the following descrip-
tive papers on Myriapocla by the late C. H. Bollman, of Bloomington,
Ind. Some of these papers were left by Mr. Bollman apparently
ready for the printer. These have been edited by Prof. L. M. Under-
wood, of Syracuse University, who has added certain notes and pre-
pared an introductory review of the literature of the ^Torth American
Myriapods. To the manuscript papers have been added all articles
upon the Myriapoda previously published by Mr. Bollman, as you have
yourself suggested the desirability of presenting in compact form, as a
sort of memorial, the work done upon this class by one whose untimely
death is so regretted. Mr. O. F. Cook, of Syracuse, N. Y., who has
greatly interested himself in the subject of the Myriapods, has aided in
getting the published papers together and also in selecting such short
papers as were worthy of publication from the mass of manuscripts pur-
chased, in connection with Mr. Bollrnan's collection, for the Xatioual
Museum.

It is fitting that the Museum should publish this series of papers,
because Mr. Bollmau based much of his work upon Museum material
and was generous enough to deposit all his types in the Museum, so
that, together witli the material deposited by Mr. Underwood and the
work done by him for the Museum, our collection in this class is one of
the most important in the country.

At the time of his death Charles Harvey Bollman was not yet 21
years of age. He was born in Monongahela City, December 1'4, 1S68;
was educated at the University of Indiana at Bloomington; graduated
at this institution in the class of 1839; was appointed, immediately after
graduation, as an assistant in the Fish Commission, and died at Way
Cross, Ga., July !.'>, 1SS!>. He \vas an exceptionally bright student in
college; President David S. Jordan considered him, as a naturalist, one
of the most brilliant and promising he, had ever known, and certainly
his published papers exhibit the ability and care of a well trained man
It can never cease to be a matter of regret that lie did not live to carry
out one of his chief ambitions, as expressed in correspondence, to mono-
graph the Myriapoda of the United States.
Kespeetfully, yours,

A REVIEW OF THE LITERATURE OF THE NORTH AMERICAN

MYRIAPODA.

I!Y PI!. I.. M. rXJ>ERWOOD.

The Myriapoda of the United States were first studied by Thomas
Say in 1821. In a paper published in the Journal of the Philadelphia
Academy of Sciences* he described eighteen species, mostly from the
Southern States, which he arranged in the genera Julus, Polydesmus,
1'olyxenits, Cermatia, Lithobius, Cryptopx, and Geophilus. Scattering
species had already been described by the earlier European naturalists,
and even in America one species had been described in 1820 by Kafiu-
esque under the name of Selista forceps. Yet Say's work will stand as
the first of importance, recognizing, as it does, a considerable number
of species.

After Say's time no species were added to our fauna for twenty years,
when Brandt (1841) published from St. Petersburg his Eecueil, consist-
ing of a reprint of a series of papers relating to the Myriapods which
he had issued since 1839. Four species from our territory are here
described. After Brandt came Newport, who published in 1844 a
monograph of the Chilopoda, in which five species were added to our
fauna and the genera TJic«tops and Scolopocryptops were founded, to
which he referred some of Say's species. Three years later (1847) Koch
published his "System der Myriapoden", in which a considerable num-
ber of American species were described. The same year appeared
volume iv of "Apteres," by Baron Walckenaer and Paul Gervais, in
which the latter describes two new species from the United States and
includes descriptions of the species of Say, Brandt, and Newport, in
all amounting to twenty-six species.

During this period two other papers appeared. In 1853 Charles
Girard published in an appendix to the Keport of Maivy's Kxploring
Expedition a description of Scolopnulra heron, the large "centipede" of
the Southwest, with plate, together with two species ofJitlu* supposed
to be new. Three years later Sager published brief and indefinite de-
scriptions of three new species, giving neither distinguishing characters
to his species nor the localities from which he obtained his specimens.
The first four decades since Say's first publication thus found us with
a known Myriapod fauna of about thirty nominal species.

*Aii alphabetic list of the literature relating to the American species is appended.

10 BULLETIN 46, UNITED STATES NATIONAL MUSEUM.

Tn 1860 an extensive monograph of the Mexican Myriapoda was pub-
lished from Geneva by Henri de Saussure, in which were described a
few species from the United States and other portions of America.
This was soon followed (1863) by Koch's elaborate, work, "Die Myria-
poden," in which he described and figured fifteen species from the
United States.

Dr. H. C. Wood published a series of papers from 1861 to 1867 which to
this time are the most extensive series published by a single individual,
and which have formed the basis of subsequent study. His papers in-
clude a preliminary paper on Scolopendra (1861), followed by a general
catalogue of the Chiiopoda of America (1863); in 1864 appeared three
papers on the various families of the Diplopoda, and the next year his
"Myriapoda of North America," in which he described all the species
then known to inhabit this country, comprising eighteen genera and
ninety-two species. Two brief supplementary papers appeared in 1867
on sundry new species from California and Texas respectively.* A
monograph of Lltliobius by Ludwig Koch appeared in 1862, containing
two species from the United States.

During the years from 1869 to 1872 E. D. Cope published, in three
papers, descriptions of several cave niyriapods, including the new
genera Pseudotremia, Andrognatkus, Petaserpes, and Seotcrpes. Hum-
bert and Saussure published "Myriapoda Nova Americana" in 1861),
which contains only Mexican species, many of which are likely, how-
ever, to appear on our Arizoniau borders when the Myriapod life of that
region shall be studied. In 1870 Dr. Packard noted the discovery of
Pauropiis in Massachusetts, the first appearance of the order Pauro-
poda in America. In the same and the following year Meinert desci ibed
two species from New Orleans in his "Myriapoda Musoei Hauuiensis,"
i, n. In 1872 Oscar Harger described a number of species with the new
genus Trichopetalum.

. During the same year the sixth part of the " Mission Scientifique au
Mexique" appeared, consisting of De Saussure's elaborated "Etudes
sur les Myriapodes." In this work several species from the United
States are described, and a very complete catalogue of all the described
species from the American continent is appended. In Hayden's Geo-
logical Survey of the Territories, Annual for 1873, Dr. Packard gives
some notes on the Myriapods of Colorado, and describes, without assign-
ing names, several new forms. In 1887 he described Polydes»ius cavi-
cola, a cave-inhabiting species from Utah.

The travels in this country of Gustaf Eisen led to the collection of
various groups of animal forms, besides the Vermes, in which he was
particularly interested. The species of LithoMus collected by him were
described by Dr. Stuxberg in 1875, amounting to seven species. Two

*As Dr. Wood nowhere mentions the work of either Saussnre or Koch it is more
than probable that they were unknown to him. This is still more evident from the
synonyms which have resulted.

other papers, "Genera et species Litliobioidarum " and "Lithobioi<l;e
Americas Borealis," were published by the same author from Stockholm
the same year. These papers are valuable from their full synonomy
and notes ou distribution. A translation of the latter paper was pub-
lished in vol. vn of the Proceeding's of the California Academy of
Sciences. In 1877 lirddujcybc roxvu, from California, was described by
Andrew Murray in his volume on "Economic Entomology." The
discovery of a second species of I'auropoda in America was announced
in 3878, by Dr. John A. Ryder, and in 1879 a third, forming the new
genus Ki(ryp<(uropus; the same author also published (1881) a list of
the Lyxiopetalid(C, adding a new genus and species, Zyt/ono/iH* icJiitei.
In 1880 Dr. Karsch, of Berlin, published three papers on the various
families of Diplopoda, in which six new species from the United States
are described. Kohlrausch, in 1881, published his "Gattungen und
Arten der Scolopendriden," in which all the known species of this fam-
ily are described. Two American species of Scolopenrtra were described,
which had been briefly characterized in a preliminary paper published
in 1878.

Three papers were published by Dr. Packard in 1883; the first was
a description of Polydesmus occllatus (afterwards referred to Craspcdo-
somit by Stuxberg); the second was a revision of the Lysiopetalidse,
giving a summary of the known information to date and describing
the new genus Cryptotrichus; the third was a morphological paper on
the appendages and mouth parts of the Myriapoda.

In 1884 Dr. Latzel published a valuable monograph of the Myriapoda
of Austro-Huugary in which a few notes are given on the American
species of the so-called Lysiopetalida1, most of which he referred to the
Chordeumidaj; the work contains synopses of all the genera of Myria-
poda and a very complete bibliography of the subject, containing 611
titles. Dr. Meinert, of Copenhagen, published in 1884 an account of
the Chilopoda of the Museum of Comparative Zoology, describing
fifteen new species from the Tinted States; and the year following
appeared the third part of his "Myriapoda Musji-i Ilauniensis," in
which two species of Lithohhin were added to our fauna.

In November, 1885, L. M. Underwood published a review of the
principal literature on the American species, with synoptic tables of
genera and a summary of the group as known to him; at that time,
however, some minor papers were overlooked, so that the summary
given should be somewhat increased. Twenty-seven genera with one
hundred and twenty nine species were recorded.* A subsequent paper

*The ideographic distribution of the species us described up to that time is pecu-
liar. The State having the largest number was California, \vith27; then followed
Pennsylvania, LT> ; Illinois, It',; <iec.i--i.-i. Ki; Oregon, 12; Virginia, 10; Texas. S;
Ne\v York, 7; and Florida, 7; all others Calling below ."• ; 1"> had no dcscrilied

inaii to his stndv of local forms, which commenced soon alter.

by the same author gave synopses of the Scolopendridae of our region
based largely on the collections of the U. S. National Museum. Mr.
Jerome McNeill published (1887) two papers in the tenth volume of the
Proceedings of the U. S. National Museum; in these eighteen new spe-
cies were described. A third paper published in 1888 added another
species, Polydesmus butleri, to the Indiana fauna. This brings the
summary of literature to the time when Mr. Bollman first commenced
his publications. It will be seen that the work on the rnyriapoda of
the United States consists largely of fragmentary papers scattered
among the scientific periodical literature of several languages. Only
one work — that of Dr. H. C. Wood — made any attempts at complete-
ness, and that had been published almost a quarter of a century. The
time was ripe for some one of keen observing powers and careful judg-
ment to collate these species already described, and collect and de-
scribe the new forms that had been or could be found. Into this work
Mr. Bollman entered with enthusiasm, and his activity is shown in the
numerous papers that in so short a space came from his study. In
addition to the papers published in the Proceedings of the U. S. Na-
tional Museum and reprinted in this volume, Mr. Bollman published
seven papers: two in the Annals of the Neiv York Academy, one in the
American Naturalist, and four in Entomvloyica Americana. In these
papers are included descriptions of thirty-one new species, many of
which were collected in the vicinity of his home in Indiana. In addi-
tion three new genera were described.*

The anatomy, morphology, and development of the Myriapoda have
remained almost untouched in America and comparatively little has
been written anywhere. Its single paper by Packard on the morphol-
ogy comprises about all the American literature on the subject. A
few brief notes on the poisonous nature of some of the more common
species have appeared from time to time. The economic relations of
the Myriapoda have been only briefly considered. Besides scanty
notes on the habits of certain species scattered through the papers of
Wood and others mentioned above, we add a brief summary of what
is included in the serial entomological reports of the various States.
In his Tenth Report on the insects of New York, Fitch describes the
ravages of Polydesmus complanatus t in cabbage, causing the so-called
"club-foot." Walsh, in the Practical Entomologist for 1860, describes
Julus multistriatus, which he afterwards identified as J. ceruleocinctus
Wood,! as causing injury to strawberry roots. In the American Ento-
mologist for 1869, he merlons two forms, a Julus and a Polydesmus, as
burrowing in strawberries. In the Eleventh Illinois Report (Thomas)

* Adding to these the species described, iu the Proceedings of the U. S. National
Museum and the extent of Mr. Bollman's work on the Myriapoda is apparent; the
totals will then be 3 genera, and 03 species.

D. W. Coquillett discusses the ravages of Julux imprcsHux in corn, giv-
ing it the name of the " corn myriapod." Forbes, in the Thirteenth
Illinois Reports, names Cambala annnlata the ;' strawberry millipede,"
on account of its destructive habits.

Much has been Avritten in America on the fossil Myriapoda, espe-
cially by Samuel H. Scudder. The discussion of this portion of the lit-
erature, however, is beyond the limits of the present review.

notes on structure and distribution, is appended below arranged alpha-

NOTES ON THE NORTH AMERICAN LITHOBIID^E AND SCUTI-

GERID^E.

BY CHARLES H. BOLLMAN.

In examining the collection of myriapods belonging- to the museum
of the Indiana University, I have found a number of species new to
science. On account of the confused condition of our North American
myriopoda, I have deemed it best to introduce a description of the
known species embraced in the same collection, as well as the descrip-
tion of those species supposed to be new to science.

The types of the new species have been deposited in the United
States National Museum.

At first this species might be taken for the young of mordax. 1 have
no young specimens of the latter on hand, but judging from Dr. Mein-
ert's description of a specimen 15.5nira long, it can easily be separated
by the number of prosternal teeth (4 instead of 10), by the spines of
the first pair of legs (1, 3, 2 instead of 2, 1, 1) and by the number of
ocelli.

DESCRIPTIONS OF FOURTEEN NEW SPECIES OF NORTH AMER-
ICAN MYRIAPODS.

BY CHARLES H. BOLLMAN.

The present paper contains descriptions of fourteen species of rayria-
pods which I believe to be new.

The types of all have been presented to the U. S. National Museum.

I take pleasure in acknowledging ray indebtedness for specimens to
Prof. George F. Atkinson, of the University of South Carolina; to Dr.
Richard D. Owen, of New Harmony, Ind. ; to Mr. Charles B. Brainier,
of Mossy Creek, Tenn. ; to Mr. and Mrs. Carl H. Eigenmaun, of San
Diego, Cal. ; to Mr. Charles L. Edwards, of Johns Hopkins University;
to Mr. James H. Burke, of Ukiah, Cal., aud to Mr. Frederick C. Test,
of Westneld, Ind.

1. Parajulus ectenes, sp. nov.

Diagnosis. — Allied to Parajulus pennsylvauicus (Brandt), but the form
of body much more slender, the repugnatorial pore not touching trans-
verse suture, which is straight, and the male gen italia entirely different.

Type.—U. S. Nat. Museum.

Habitat. — Chapel Hill, Orange County, N. C.

Description of type. — Very dark brown, almost black, light spots
more or less confluent and indistinct, joints of antennas tipped with
white; legs brown, slender; segments pilose and sulcate, iisiiipenn-
sylvanicus. Vertex not silicate, setigerous foveolre present. Antenna1
scarcely subclavate, longer than width of body. Ocelli distinct, $ 70- I),
9 00-8, arranged in a subtrapezoidal patch. Last segment not pass
ing beyond anal valves, which are pilose and not marginate ; anal scale
obtuse-angled.

Number of segments, $ and $ 67.

Pairs of legs of female, 120.

Length of body: $ 46111111, width l.(>""", antenna) 2.7mm; 9 length
54"1U1, width 1.8""", antenna) l.O111"1.

1 have a single pair of this species, collected by Prof. George F. At-
kinson. In the same collection there is a young Parajulus that prob-
ably belongs to this species. This species differs from any other by
the slender body and peculiar form of the male genitalia, which I have
not described here, but will do so in a paper relating to the genus. U
may be worthy of remark that at present I consider the^Jitlus 2>ilosis-
<-utis of Wood as identical with P. pennsylvamcus (Brandt). His de-
34

scriptious seem to apply inure to the younger stages of the latter.
Concerning the status of Jitlns im»it<i>in* Cope, I have regarded it as
identical with P. jx-iiiiNi/lraiiiciiN, but it may represent a geographical
form, as those from farther south have more segments and attain a

larger si/.e.

2. Parajulus zonatus, sp. nov.

.JJi«<iii<>niN. — Belated to P<trqpul/U8 furcifer (Harder), but the anal seg-
ment produced into a strong spine, which passes considerably beyond
anal valves; segments with short, deep sulcations; color dark brown,
posterior border of segments pale.

Type.—U. S. Nat. Museum.

H«hit«t. — Chehalis, Lewis County, Wash. Terr.

Dexcri/ition of type. — Brown, posterior border of segment pale, usual
yellow lines and spots absent, legs dark. Robust, segments with nu
merous short sulcations, not pilose. Vertex rough, a distinct median
sulcns, setigerous t'oveola- present. Antenna1 equaling width of body.
Ocelli 4G-7 to 5(5-8, arranged in a triangular patch. Segments, 52 to
53. Last segment produced into a large, straight, robust spine, pass-
ing beyond anal valves; anal valves slightly marginate, sparsely pilose;
anal scale large, not passing beyond anal valves, pilose, liepugnato-
rial pore large, more deeply impressed than in furcifer, placed near
transverse suture, which is nearly straight.

Pairs of legs, 93 to 95, moderately long. Length of body, 25 to 40""" ;
width, 2 to 2.5""".

This species differs most strikingly from P. furdfer by having the
last segment produced considerably beyond anal valves, and also by
the plain color. In P.furcifi'r the last segment does not pass beyond
the anal valves, and the yellow lines and spots, which are absent in
zouatu* and generally present in other species, are very bright; in fact,
much more than in any other species.

The male genitalia, of which 1 have said nothing, differ very remark-
ably from that of I'.fiircifer or /'. orei/oni'iiNix.

1 have examined two males of this species. They were collected by
Mr. (leorge Gregg, of Chehalis, Wash. Terr.

3. Craspedosoma atrolineatum, sp. m>v

Diagnosis. — Light brown, Literal canine and a median dorsal line
dark. Male: Femur of fourth pair of legs produced at the middle into
a knob-like process armed with a few rather large tubercles; femur of
ninth pair with a cylindrical, tapering basal lobe, which is slightly tu
berculate.

Type.—U. S. Nat. Museum.

Habitat. — Glacier, British Columbia.

DcNcription of typr. — Light brown, lateral caiina- and a median dorsal
line black ; legs pale. Robust, attenuated anteriorly and posteriorly,

patch, 20-4 to 23-5. Dorsal plates finely reticulated. Antennae and
legs long.

Male: 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 pairs of legs crassate, rest slender; about the first
fifteen pairs, excepting the first two, with the tarsal joint armed on the
under side with an elongate patch of short tubercles extending from
the middle to claw, coxa not tuberculate; femur of fourth pair of legs
produced into a knob-like appendage on the under side near the middle
and armed witli three or four moderately large sharp tubercles ; femur
of ninth pair with an inward projecting, cylindrical, tapering, basal
lobe, which is indistinctly tuberculate on the upper side.

Length of body: $ 16 to 18.5mm, width 1.2 to 1.5""»; 9 length 13 to
1C1""1, width .9 to 1.2""", antennae 2mm.

This new species is more related to the cave form Craspedofsoma
bollmani, the male of which has the same peculiar knobs, but the
tuberculation is different. From Harger's description of G. glomeralnm
this species seems to differ in having a dark median dorsal lipe, besides
being of a larger size.

I have examined over a dozen specimens collected by Mr. Carl H.
Eigeninann.

4. Paradesmus dasys, sp. uov.

Diagnosis. — Very similar to Paradesmus gracilis (Koch), but the tibia
.and tarsi of male tuberculate beneath; vertex pilose on each side of
sulcns, first and penultimate segments with two roivs of setie, rest with
one; copulation foot resembling that of gracilis.

Type.—U. S. Nat. Museum.

Habitat. — Baltimore, Md.

This species is very closely related to Paradesmus gracilis, as shown
by the character of male genitalia, but is at once recognized by the
characters given in the diagnosis. The following differences were also
observed, which, except the characters* of male genitalia, are not of
much importance :

Dorsal plates somewhat wrinkled; repugnatorial pore (as compared
with Saussure's figure of P. coarctatus =- P. gracilis) not placed so far
back nor the lateral carinse so swollen; the end of the sheath inclosing
the flagellum finely serrate as well as its branch; the other lobe widely
three or four toothed; length of body, $ 15.5 to 20'nm, 9 17 to 22.5mm.

I have examined three males and a number of females collected by
Mr. Charles L. Edwards, of Johns Hopkins University.

5. Folydesmus testi, sp. nov.

Diagnosis. — Tuberculation as in P. moniliaris Koch,* but the lateral
carino? not finely serrated; tubercles set;e-tipped; male genitalia very
similar to Polydcsmtis hn-onstans Latzel.t

This species is very closely related to the European Polt/di'siitH.s in-
cinixtnns Latzel, as is shown by the tuberculation and the form of male
copulation foot, while it only resembles P. •numiliarifi Koch in tuber-
culation.

I have examined a male and a female, collected by Mr. Frederick C.
Test, my friend and fellow- student, for whom the species is named.

As the characters of /'. si'i-rntux vary exceedingly in respect to size
and form, I have had considerable trouble in using characters exact
enough to distinguish /'. hntintrri from the various forms of /'. xnTiitit.s.
The most important differences by which /'. hritnin-ri is separated from
/'. xm-ittiiK are those of the male genitalia; but as it is almost impossi-
ble to give a good definition of these characters. 1 have thought it best
to say nothing now, but wait until I can have good figures made.

Concerning the male genitalia of /'. wn-ittiis, 1 may say that in all
the specimens I have examined from Minnesota, Illinois, Indiana,
Pennsylvania, and North Carolina, I lindthat the characters are essen-
tially similar, the only important variation being in the number of plate
like spines. 1 have thought that /'. hrtinnrri may l>e identical with

This is all of his description that is of any value; the first will fit
both species, while the last will only suit P. serratus, for the serratures
are present in P. brainier i, although they are small.

I have never seen a specimen of P. serratus with the serratures oblit-
erated, but concerning this Dr. Wood says:* ''The serratures in the
lateral margins of the side plates are very minute and frequently obso-
lete;" and Professor Saussure:t '•-Us le s<»it en effet7 main si Jinement

P. pennsylvanicus is identical with serratus, or, at any rate, a species
distinct from my branneri.

I have examined a number of specimens collected by Mr. Charles B.
Branuer, but most of them are broken. All the females in the collec-
tion are much smaller than the male, as the following measurements
will show:

Type. — U. S. Xat. Museum.

Habitat.— Mossy Creek, Jefferson County, Tenn.

Description of type. — Black, lateral cariiuv, a spot on anterior border
of first and on posterior border of penultimate segments red, antenna'
brown, legs yellow, tarsal joints reddish, an indistinct row of reddish
brown spots above lateral carime. Body depressed, anterior segments
of male not attenuated, those of female very noticeable; first four seg1

This species is closely allied to the next, but differs very much in
color and in the characters ot the anterior segments, and male genitalia.
I have seen a male and a female which were collected by Mr. Charles
B. Brainier. The feiriale has a browner pattern of coloration and t lu-
red is not so vivid as in the male.

8. Foiitaria rubromargiiiata, sp. uov.

IHaf/HONix. — Very similar to Fontaria c fides, but the first three seg-
ments of male attenuated; vertex, siilcns deeper; femur more swollen ;
anterior border of first and posterior of other segments red.

Type. — U. S. !N"at. Museum.

Habitat. — Balsam, Jackson County, N. C.

This species is closely related to the preceding. It differs, however,
much in. color and in the character of male genitalia. As compared
with the male of F. < riilr.s, the following points may be worthy of note:

Browner, legs yellow; lateral plates not so sharp; legs of male more
crassate; distal fourth of genitalia very much expanded near the end;
basal spine stout, b(fid ; two lateral lobes, the first tritid, the other
bifid; length of body, 38"""; height, 5"""; width of segment. <;..'>""";
width of tenth, 10"'m; antenna?, S.."."1111.

The characters of ventral plates and cox.e are the same as in /•'. c rides.

These notes are based upon a male collected by Prof. George T. At-
kinson, which only has the right leg changed into a copulatory organ.

9. Fontaria montaua, sp. nov.

DiaannniN. — Similar to Fontaria tiimaculata (Wood) but larger, espe-
cially the. breadth; dorsal plates less convex, lateral carina- larger and
more produced; legs of male less crassate, shining black, yellow spots
very distinct, legs light brown.

Type.—U. S. Nat. Museum.

Habitat. — Wolf Creek, Cooke County, Tenn.

This species is very closely related to F. triniacitlata, as is shown by
the coloration and genitalia, but the latter are more strongly coiled and
with the basal spine larger. Comparing the males of the two species,
it may be said that in F. montaua the different parts are larger, but
more slender.

I have examined a male collected by Mr. Charles B. Branner. This
species is the southern representative of /•'. trimarnlafa. but it is not
probable that they will merge into one as the characters of the male
genitalia are too much unlike.

Tlic following paper is based upon material of this family embraced
in the entomological collection in the Museum of the Indiana Uni-
versity.

In connection with the description of the new species, it has also
been deemed best to introduce descriptions of those already known to
science.

The types of the new genera and species are deposited in the above
museum.

Family A.— JULUXE Leach.
Genus I. — JULUS Linn.

Julux Liniueus, Syst. Nat., Ed. \, i, 639, 1758.

This genus diners from Pfintjuhi* in the mandibnlary combs being1
four; the tirst segment of an equal si/e in both sexes; the second pair
of feet not stunted; and the first pair of the male small, three-jointed,
the last joint large and nncinate.

As the subgenera of this genus are very much confused, I have not
attempted to give a key to those to which the following species belong.

1. Julus Oweiiii, sp. uov.

Pale brown, a lateral series of dark brown spots, first dorsal plate
with a brown band along the anterior border; a brown band between
the eyes; a pale oval spot at the base of antenna?; feet and antenna-
pale. Moderately slender, not smooth, not pilose. Vertex rough; a
faint median sulcus; setigerons foveohe absent. Antenna1 subclavate,
equal to the width of body. Eyes indistinct, subcircular; ocelli not
always- tilled out, about 28, arranged in <! or 7 series. Segments ;>S-40.
First segment unusually thin, advanced forward to the eyes; sides
striate. Other segments moderately striate both above and below.
Last segment rounded: anal valves not inarginate, not pilose; anal
scale triangular. Repugnatorial pore moderately large, longitudinally
oval, touching the transverse suture, which is excised. Pairs of I'cct
54-<>(>, rather stout, equaling the width of body. Mule: niaiidibulary

stipes iiot much produced beueath. First pair of legs small, strongly
uuciuate. Genitalia concealed. Length of body 11.4-13.5nini ; width,

7-8""".

Habitat. — New Harmony, Indiana.

I have examined two males of this species, collected by Dr. Eichard
Owen, of New Harmony, Indiana, after whom the species is named.
This species belongs to the sub-genus Allajnlus as denned by Latzel.

2. Julus virgatus Wood.

Jul u s viryatns Wood, Proc. Acad. Nat. Sci., Phila., 14, 1864.

ent. Antenna? moderate, subclavate, equaling width of body. Eyes
distinct, triangular or trapezoidal ; ocelli L'5-40, arranged in 6-7 series.
Segments 30-35. Sides of first segment margin ate; other segments
striate both above and below, but more so in the latter; last segment
rather sharply rounded, sparsely pilose ; anal valves scarcely marginate,
smooth, pilose; anal scale triangular, rather large, pilose. Repugua-
torial pore small, partly concealed by the transverse suture, which is
moderately excised. Pairs of feet, r>0-G5, not equaling width of body,
rather stout, sparsely pilose. Male: mandibulary stipes moderately
produced beneath. First pair of feet short, scarcely thickened, strongly
unciuate. Genitalia half concealed; anterior plate entirely concealed,

like, pointing inwards and projecting out on the inner side of the others,
the tip rounded. Flagellum not detected. Length of body, 8-12mm;
width, .7-lmm.

Habitat. — Pennsylvania, District of Columbia, and Indiana.

I have examined numerous specimens of this species from Bloom-
iugton, Indiana, where it seems to be common in orchards and pastures
having a thick growth of grass.

The females are considerably more robust than the males.

Ifnhittit. — Virginia, Florida, and Indiana,

I have examined a number of females of this species from lilooming-
ton, Intl., and also the types of .lulu* lim-ntmt McNeill, Mss. (Pen-
sacola, Fla.), but I can not find any difference between them and my
other specimens, which I have identified with min-ntux. Specimens not
in full color have the lateral row of spots bronze-red, and with a back-
ward-pointing branch, at the upper posterior side.

I have examined two specimens from San Diego, three from Ckiah,
and numerous specimens, mostly broken, from Kosario Mission. Those
from the latter are almost black in coloration and lack the median and
lateral rows of spots, but otherwise there is no difference.

(Jenus IV. — XANNOLENE, gen. uov.

Eyes triangular; ocelli arranged in several series. Antenna? short,
subclavate, joints longer than wide, second and sixth subequal, the
latter enlarged as in Cainbala. Mandibulary combs six (5). Gnatho-
chiiarium barely spatulate; stipes separated, attenuated towards the
. base; nientum entire, exposed; promentum almost as in tTulomorpha,
posterior plate trapezoidal, anterior lanceolate-triangular; lingual
plates separated; lingual lobes denticulated. Segments constricted in
the middle; the anterior ten segments striate from the feet to the re-
pugnatorial pore, the stri;e diminishing on the other segments; at the
junction of the anterior and posterior parts are round impressions,
larger than the pore, extending around all, except the first G or 8; first
segment nearly as wide as the next two. Eepuguatorial pore begin-
ning on the sixth segment, placed in the posterior part. Fourth seg-
ment apodous. Feet long and slender, seventh joint longer than the
third. Male: First pair of legs about half as long as other, scarcely
thickened, same number of joints, unarmed; sixth and seventh pairs
of legs with the penultimate joint swollen and produced on the inner
side.

This genus seems to be more related to Cambala than any other
genus, but nevertheless it also approaches Jitliniinrjrfut, especially in
the construction of the gnathochilarium. It is distinguished from all
the known genera by the first pair of feet of the male.

The following species is the type of the genus:

18. Nannolene burkei, sp. uov.

DESCRIPTION OF NEW GENERA AND SPECIES OF NORTH AMERI-
CAN MYRIOPODA (JULID^E.)

BY C. II. HOLLMAX.

In examining the material of this family in the museum of the Indiana
University and. my own collection, I have found that the following
species do not appear to be described :

Family A.— JULUXE, Leach.
Genus I. — NANNOLENE, gen. nov.

Antennae short, subclavate, joints longer than wide, second and sixth
subequal, the latter enlarged as in Cambala. Mandibnlary combs 0 (5),
Gnathochilarium somewhat spatulate, stipes separated attenuated at
the base, mentum entire, exposed, promentuin divided almost as in Cam-
bfila or Tulomorpha; lingual lobes denticulated. Segments constricted in
the middle, the anterior ten segments striate from the feet to the pore?
striae diminishing on the others; at the junction of the anterior and
posterior parts of almost every segment are round impressions, larger
than the repugnatorial pore, which extend around all the segments ex-
cept the anterior 0-8. Repugnatorial pore commencing on the sixth
segment, placed in the posterior part. Fourth segment footless. Feet
long and slender. Male: First pair of legs short, usual number of
joints, somewhat thickened, unarmed ; penultimate joint of the sixth
and seventh pairs of legs produced on the inner side.

This genus is related more to Cambula, than any other, although it-
approaches lulomorplia in the form of the promentum. The following
species is the type :

Naiinolene burkei, sp.iiov.

Light brown, a lateral row of large brown spots, a brown band be-
tween eyes. Slender, not smooth or pilose. Vertex smooth, a faint
median sulcus, setigerous foveohe absent. Auteun;e equaling the width
of body, pilose. Eyes distinct, triangular; ocelli 2 to 5. Segments 50
or 51. Sides of first segment striate, others moderately striate beneath,
posterior margin of each segment with fine parallel stria1. Last seg-
ment rounded; anal valves not marginate, pilose; anal scale obtusely
rounded, pilose. Repugnatorial pore small, not touching the trans-
verse suture. Pairs of feet about 87, extending beyond the sides of
62

body. Male: Maudibulary stipes a little produced in the middle; gen-

italia concealed. Length of body IS""1', width — mm.
Habitat. — Utah ; California.

I have examined two adults and two young of this species collected
by Mr. Jaines K. Uurke, after whom the species is named.

Genus II. — PARA.TULUS, Humbt. and Sauss.

To this genus belong our larger species of so-called -lulu*. From the
latter genus it is easily separated by the number of mandibulary combs
(10), the dwarfed second pair of feet and the form of the first seg-
ment of the male with its appendages.

Under the genus Julnn, Wood says, "In all species in which I have
had the opportunity of examining sexes, the form of the first scutum
distinguishes them with certainty. In the male its antero-posterior
diameter is large, and there are well marked lateral margins running
nearly at right angles to the others. In the female the anterior pos-
terior diameter is much less, but laterally the scutum is so produced
that the anterior and posterior margins may in most cases be said to
meet one another at an angle. The males are further distinguished by
a peculiar alteration of the first pair of feet, which are transformed into
a pair of very large, thick organs."

By applying this remark to those species of which he had both sexes,
we have most of the species known to be in this genus at present. The
following is a key to the subgenera:

a. First segment enlarged in the male. First pair of feet of male largo, crassate,
n inner i >us short tubercles on the inner side I '.\i;. \.iri.rs

aa. First segment alike in both sexes. First pair of feet of male short, thick, tuber-
cles absent PsEUUOJ L'LUs

Sub- genus I'arajulitx.

2. Farajulus castaneuj, up nuv.

Color nearly the same as in P. /W///V.V.S-MS (Say). Moderately slender,
rough, not pilose. Vertex finely wrinkled, a faint median sulcus, se-
tigerous foveolse present. Antenna- equaling the width of body. Kycs
distinct, triangular, ocelli .14-8. Segments, 41'-."") 1. Sides of first seg
ment striated, others deeply striate beneath, above with numerous short
lines, which are branched. Last segment produced into a moderate
spine, projecting beyond the anal valves, not pilose; anal valves not
marginate, pilose; anal scale obtusely rounded, small. Kepiignatorial
pore moderate, touching the transverse suture, which is sharply sinuate.
Pairs of feet 6(1, equaling the width of body. Male: Mandibulary
stipes strongly produced; coxa- of the second pair of feet as in /;///>/ v\\//x.-
geintalia about half concealed, composed of three plates: anterior plate
round, clavate, pilose; middle plate curving up in front of anterior,
and expanding between them into an elongate plate, which has three

right behind it, the last small, placed near the end; posterior plate
curving upwards and inward till they meet and then outwards, end
not bifid. Flagellum not detected. Length of body 23"""; width, I""11"
Habitat. — Fort Suelliug, Minnesota.

I have a male and female collected by Mr. George Howe. On account
of the bad condition of the female, the ocelli and pairs of feet could not
be counted.

Sub-genus Pseudojulus, subgen. nov.

3. Parajulus obtectus, sp. nov.

Color as in ingress us, but more bright, llobtist, attenuated anteri-
orly, not smooth or pilose. Vertex with a median sulcus, setigerous
foveolre present. Antennae exceeding the width of body. Eyes dis-
tinct, triangular; ocelli 40-55, arranged in 7-9 series. Segments 50-55.
Sides of first segment striate; other segments deeply striate, upper
surface almost as in impressus. Last segment produced into a rather
large and robust spine, projecting beyond the anal valves; anal valves
smooth, barely marginate; anal scale moderate, obtusely triangular,
liepugnatorial pore large, not touching the transverse suture, which is
deeply marginate. Pairs of feet 80-95, extending beyond the sides of
body. Male: Mandibulary stipes not produced much beneath; coxae
of the second pair not drawn out; genitalia concealed. Length of body,
18-30"""; width, 1.8-2.2""".

NEW GENUS AND SPECIES OF POLYDESMID^E.

ISY < iiAia,i:> ii. HOI. i. MAX.

In examining the material of this family in the museum of the In-
diana University and my own collection, I have found the following new
species. The types are deposited in the museum of the Indiana Uni-
versity.

Genus I. — POLYDESXUS Latreille.

1. Polydesmus nitidus sp. nov.

Dark shining brown, beneath lighter, lateral plates reddish-brown;
antenna' dark. Moderately slender and depressed, acuminate ante-
riorly and posteriorly, but not so much as in eanadensis. Antenna-
exceeding the length of body, subclavate. First dorsal plate wide,
angles a little produced, sides one-toothed; posterior border with a row
of line, ciliated spines: anterior row of scales barely distinguishable,
middle row of four large scales, posterior of three, small ones in the
middle and two larger ones at both ends, anterior side scale small,
other OIK; (repugnatorial pore scale) large elongate. Other dorsal plates
witli the scales distinct, anterior angles rounded, posterior produced,
lateral margins. '5-1 toothed, posterior border of anterior segments cil-
iated ; anterior border divided by the median dorsal line into two large
scales : middle row consists of four scales, posterior of six, outer larger,
anterior side scale large and swollen, repugnatorial pore scale la rue
and elongate; scales of last segments more elongate, marked with fine
irregular lines, the last row projecting behind. Feet long, strongly
crassate in the male and the femur swollen a bove. in the female some
what crassate. copulation foot large, slender and curved; apex be-
neath with several bunches of flat, spiny hairs, below this are forr
tubercles, the t wo lowest ones on the inner side largest , elongate, t I e
last one pointing toward the coxa-, piligerous pulvillns large, above
which is a moderately long tapering branch and below a tubercle.

68 BULLETIN -16, UNITED STATES NATIONAL MUSEUM.

Genus II. — CH^TASPIS, gen. uov.

Body slender, not much, depressed, more convex that in Polydesmus,
but not so much as in Ncytonotttx.

Intenme with the third and sixth joints equal, the hitter strongly
swollen, second and fifth subequal, fourth equal to seventh and eighth.
Segments 20; lateral plates distinct, but not as in Polydesmns, slightly
angled, serrate; dorsal plates smooth, excepting a row of indistinct,
setigerotis tubercles along the anterior and posterior margins, no me-
dian, dorsal line; last acuminate. Ilepugnatorial pore rather large,
placed on a moderately large and round tubercle, near the outer bor-
der of the 5, 7, 0, 10, 12, 13, 15, 10, 17, 18, 19 dorsal plates. Pairs of
feet, 530, 931.

This genus is related to Polydesniux and Scytonotus, but can be easily
separated by the character of the dorsal plates.

2. Chastaspis albus, sp. nov.

White throughout. Slender, small, slightly acuminate before. An
tenna1 exceeding the width of body, subclavate. First dorsal plate
large, semicircular, angles not produced, provided with five rows of
hairs. Other dorsal plates with the posterior angles a little produced,
lateral margins with 3-4 setigerous teeth; rows of hairs 2 to 3. Feet
rather long, $ crassate, 9 slightly crassate. $ copulation foot erect, not
as in 'Folydasmim; composed of two pieces, the outer curving outwards
and then inwards so that the ends almost touch over the median line
of body, rather robust, somewhat flattened, the end apparently divided
into three pieces — a small lobe, followed by a long and slender one with
the end turned sharply downward, and this by a large flat bifid piece;
inner piece narrow and thin, sickle shaped, the end curving up be-
tween the branched lobe of the outer piece; coxa? with a few long
hairs. Seventh dorsal plate enlarged. Length of body G-7. 5"""; width,
0.3-0.51111".

Habitat. — Blooinington, Ind.

I have examined four 9 9 and three <5 $ . It seems to be more under-
ground in its habits than the other species of this family known to me.
I have always found it under logs buried rather deep in the ground.
I thought at first this might be the young of some other rolydi'xmi<l<i\
but having found several males and taken a pair in the act of copula-
tion, I have decided that it must belong to a new genus.

Genus III. — SOYTONOTUS Koch.

3. Scytoiiotus cavernarum, sp. nov.

Allied to nodnloxuN Koch. Pure white throughout. Slender, some-
what depressed, acuminate anteriorly. Antenna*, exceeding the width
of the body, clavate. First dorsal plate elliptical, angles sharp; scales
arranged in five, transverse series, anterior row sharp, setigerous, all

covered with line granulations. Other dorsal plates with all the lat-
eral sides sharply and deeply tour or live tool lied, scales arranged in
four rows, the posterior row more or less setigerous, on the posterior
segments the anterior row is not very distinct. Repugnatorial pore
scale large and swollen. Legs moderately long and slender. Length
of body 11"""; width, 1.5""".

Habitat. — Mayn'eld's Cave, Bloomington, Ind.

This species is described from one female found crawling on the floor
of the above cave, in October, 1S8<>. As already stated, this species is
more nearly related to iiodulosus, but as (jraimlaiHx is the only species
found so far in the vicinity of Bloomington, L suppose it is descended

8. Craspedosoma flavidum, sp. nov.

Yellowish brown, feet and antenna? lighter. Robust, segments not
constricted, lateral carinre small, and body strongly resembling that of

Centipedes. Antenme longer than width of body. Ocelli 12-14, distinct,
arranged in a triangular patch and in 5 or G series. Dorsal plates

width 2.2 to 2.8""".

Jliibitut.— Little lloek. Arkadelphia, Okolona, Murfreesboro, and
Ultima Thnle.

As already indicated, this species is closely related to .wri-olim. It
is principally separated by its smaller size and form of the ventral plate
of ninth pair of legs of male.

This species may only represent a geographical form of m-rrattiN. It
is very abundant throughout the State, and all those collected during
the summer were in the larva stages. I am indebted to Mr. llutcher-
son for adult specimens.

15. Foutaria virgiiiiensis (Drury).

Abundant at Donaldson, common at Okolona.

Specimens from Arkansas are similar to those from ^sorth Carolina,
but those from northern parts of M ississippi valley represent geograph-
ical species.

At Donaldson the adults were found crawling on the surface of the
ground in company with a large number of their young, probably 01 it-
adult to 500 or 800 young, then (July 11, 1887) about half grown.

This species seems to be more confined to river bottoms and low
rich woodlands.

The odor of prussic acid is strongly emitted by this species through
a series of pores on each side of the body.

16. Sphaeriodesmus pudicus, sji. nov.

(General color pinkish, especially posteriorly, anterior half of seg-
ments darkest, a black median dorsal line, antenna- dark, legs pale.
Body widest and highest anteriorly, tapering posteriorly, smooth, seta-
absent. Vertex smooth, somewhat sulcate. Antenna- subclavate,
about equaling width of body. Dorsal plates smooth, four preced-
ing the last with an indistinct row of obtuse scales; lateral plates, ex-
cept the first, antepenult and penult with their posterior margin serrate.
Anal plate triangular with the angles rounded, spar.-.ely pilose. Legs
long and slender, extending beyond sides of body. Male: Ventral plate
of second pair of legs produced into two short cones: coxa- of second
and third pairs more pilose than others; copulation foot much twisted,
end expanded and divided, pilose. Length of body 7""": width 2""".

H<tl>it(it. — Little Rock and Okolona.

This is the first time that any species of this genus has been found
in the United States. It is easily distinguished from .s1. nn:ririt>iuN
(Saussure), by having a few scales on posterior dorsal plates.

The collection contains two specimens of this species.

76 BULLETIN 46, UNITED STATES NATIONAL MUSEUM.

17. Polyxeiius fasciculatus .Say.

Common at Little Rock, live were obtained at Antoine and one at
Ultima Thnle.

18. Pauropus lubbockii Packard.

A few specimens were obtained at Little Rock.

19. Liiiotaenia bothriopa (Wood).

I have received one specimen that was collected near Little Rock by
Mr. Hutcherson.

small. Ventral plates with an obsolete median foveola, pores on poste-
rior margin. First pair of legs short, posterior longer than anterior.
Posterior coxa; moderately inflated, pores about 12 to 18, small, in three-
series; last ventral plate triangular, small, sides moderately converg-
ing. Posterior pair of legs longer than penult, crassate in the male,
slender in the female; claw large. Pairs of legs of male 51-55; of
female 54-59. Length of male 27-33'""'; of female 34-52""".

HaMtat. — Little Rock, Okolona, Arkadelphia, and Ultima Thule.

I refer this species provisionally to L. robusta (Meinert), although it
differs from Meinert's description by rather unimportant characters. I
have also seen specimens of this species from Tennessee.

The collection contains one specimen of this species. It is related
to botltriojHi. but is distinguished by a smaller number of legs and its
large posterior coxa and pores.

22. Geophilus perforatus (McNcill).

County, Va.); McNeill, Proc. U. S. Nat. Museum, 32tJ, 1887 (Pensacola,

Flu.); Underwood, Eut. Amer., 65, 1887.
Cryptops sulcatns Meinert, Proc. Amer. Philos. Soc., 211, 1886 (Bee Spring,

Ky.); Underwood, Ent. Amer., 65, 1887.

The study of a large series of specimens of the genus Cryptops
convinced me that all the species of Gryptops described from North
America belong- to a single species — hyalinus Say.

I have questioned the Cryptops milbcrti of Gervais, because the
author states that the spines of the last pair of feet are absent. This
character is contrary to the (rue definition of Crypt-ops, and I am in-
clined to think that either Gervais had an abnormal specimen or that
his observations were incorrect.

Asperipes Wood, has been separated from the other species by the
number of antenna! joints (19), which he assigned to his species, but
as the number of joints has recently been found to be variable it is not
a true character upon which species can be based.

In Ent. Amer. 05, 1887, Dr. Underwood says the last pair of legs
of sulcatns Meinert. are unarmed, as in milberti Gervais, but in this he
is mistaken, for, in his generic description Dr. Meinert states that the
last pair of legs are armed with a definite number of spines.

Considering this state of characters, I believe that all the described
species should be united under G. hyalinus. 1 have examined speci-
mens of this species from the following States: Maryland, Pennsyl-
vania, Indiana, Tennessee, North Carolina, Florida, Indian Territory,
and Arkansas, where it is very common.

26. Theatops spinicaudus (Wood).

Abundant from Little Rock to Ultima Thule.

27. Scolopendra heros (Jirard.

Two adults were obtained at Little Hock, several young at Murfrecs-
boro and Muddy Fork.

29. Scolopocryptops sexspiiiosus (S:i\ I.

Common at all points; these specimens are of a darker shade than
northern or eastern examples.

30. Heiiicops fulvicoriiis (Meinert).

A single specimen was obtained at Little Hock near the, Deal' Mute
Asylum. This is a, European species, and the, only other recorded
North American locality is Mount Lebanon, New York.

Abundant or common throughout the State.

This species is not strongly related to any known North American
species; it should be placed near foi-fn-ahix, which it seems toivplace
in Arkansas.

Dr. Wood has reported forftait n* from Arkansas and he may have
had the species which 1 have described.

NOTES UPON A COLLECTION OF MYRIAPODA FROM EAST TEN-
NESSEE, WITH DESCRIPTION OF A NEW GENUS AND SIX NEW
SPECIES.

«Y riiAia.K.s ii. r,oi, I.MAN.

[Krii.l o.-tnl.cr J, 1887.]

All the material in this interesting collection represents only two or
three hours' collecting by Prof. Branner.

The diseovcry of a new genus and several new species .in so short a
time suggests that an unusually large amount of new material would
be brought to light by careful collecting through I^ast Tennessee.

Of the six new species described, one is from the vicinity of Knoxville
(also found at the other localities), one from Mossy Creek, and four
from Beaver Creek, .Jefierson County.

The new genus is from the latter place.

The types of the new species belong to the Museum of the I'niversity
of Indiana, and are there deposited.

A. — KNOXVILLE, KNO\ COUNTY.

All the specimens from this locality were collected on May -1, 1SN7,
in the woods about one mile south of the river at Knoxville. near the
Maryville road.

1. Parajulus peimsylvanicus ( Ilraudt).
Three females were obtained.

4. Polydesmus canadensis Newport.

The collection contains three females, which I refer to this species,
until males can be obtained.

5. Fontaria sp.

I place here two young females, which I cannot identify with any of
the known species of Fontaria.

6. Geophilus umbraticus (McNoill).

Very common. These specimens differ very slightly from the types
in the Museum of the Indiana University.

7. Scolioplanes rtiber Bollmun.
One specimen obtained.

8. Scolopocryptops iiigridius McNeill.
Only one specimen obtained.

9. Cryptops hyalinus Say.

A few small individuals were found.

10. Lithobius bramieri, sp. nov.

Subenus Archilithobius.

Light chestnut brown or orange, head and antenna* scarcely darker,
feet orange. Slender, smooth, very sparsely pilose; head rounded-
triangular, narrowest before. Antenme short, joints 20, short. Ocelli
0 — 8, arranged in four or five rows. Prosternal teeth 4, small. Coxal
pores 2, 3, 3, 2 — 3, 4, 4, 3, small and round. First pair of feet armed
with 0, 2, 1 spines; penultimate with 1, 3, 1, 1 — 1, 3,2, 1; last with 1,3,
1, 0; in the male its fifth joint is produced into a short pilose lobe, and
is depressed. Claw of the female genitalia short, wide, bi- or tri-partite;
spines slender, subequal, outer strongly toothed. Length of body,
5-10"1M.

Four males and three females were obtained. This species is dedi-
cated to Prof. John O. Braniier, by whom the collection was made.

31. Lithobius proridens Bollmau.

A single specimen was obtained.

B. — BEAVER CKEEK, JEFFERSON COUNTY.

These species were taken in open cedar thickets from May 21 to 2(5,

1887.

1. Androgiiathus corticarius Cope.

Andrognathus corticttrius Cope, Proc. Amer. Philos. Soc. 181, 1869 (Virginia).

Fifteen specimens of this species were obtained. They agree in most
respects with Dr. Cope's description, but this genus will not form the

THE MYRIAPODA OF NORTH AMERICA. 83

new family Andrognathidce, which he has set up for its reception. This
genus belongs to the subfamily Dolixli'niti, and will somewhat modify
the character of that group as given by Dr. Latzel,

2. Lysiopetalum eudasum MoNcill.

3. Striaria graiiulosa, gen. et sp. nov. (Chordeumidce).

STRIAIUA.

Body cylindrical, strongly resembling a Lyniopetalnni. Dorsal plates,
excepting the last, with 12 strong carime, C> on each side of the median
line; between these there are 1-4 rows of round granular dots. First
dorsal segment large, advanced forward and covering part of the
ocelli. The carina' are apparently of the same number as the others,
while the granular dots are more numerous. Last segment produced
into a broad lobe, while the spines are short and wide, thus making
the last segment appear as if incised. Ocelli present. Feet short and
thick.

To the above generic characters may be added the following specific:
Gray-brown tirst dorsal segment and feet pale. Robust, very slightly
depressed, everywhere slightly granulated; body, with the exception
of a setigerous granular dot between the first and second rows of
carime, not pilose; feet sparsely pilose. Ocelli present. Kepugnato-
rial pore, not discernible. Feet granulated, 44 were counted. Length
of body, 12""" ; width, 1.5""".

The above descriptions were taken from a single female, which is
curled in a spire, so that nothing of the head can be seen except a lew
ocelli. The pairs of feet were counted with uncertainty, some being
probably hidden by the tirst dorsal segment.

This new genus may be distinguished from all previously known by
the characters of the dorsal segments.

4. Campodes flavicomis Koch.

Seven specimens were obtained, which agree with the more Northern
examples.

5. Craspedosoma carinatum, sp. nov.

llrown, feet pale, antenna' dark, the joints tipped with white. Body
rather slender, depressed, somewhat attenuated. Antenna' about one-
hall' times as wide as body, subclavate. Ocelli distinct, triangular. Hi.
arranged in 4 rows. Dorsal plates with numerous short carina', lateral
plates distinct. Length of body, <>"""; width, .."">'

This species is described from a male and a female not quite full

grown.

9. Scolioplanes bothriopus (Wood).
Only one specimen.

10. Scolioplanes ruber Uolluian.

11. Scolioplanes gracilis, sp. nov.

Frontal plate present. Orange, head and antenna' brovMiish.
Slender, strongly attenuate anteriorly, less so posteriorly; smooth,
sparsely pilose, feet more densely. Prehensorial feet sparsely pilose;
sternum subcordiform, wider than long (5: 2. 3); coxa twice as wide as
long, unarmed ; last joint unarmed ; claw moderately curved, excavated
beneath, as long as the head is wide. Cephalic plate subquadrate, of
almost equal length and width, posterior margin concealed by basal
plate; prebasal plate concealed; basal plate four times as wide as long
(4.5: 1.2). First pair of feet short, anterior and posterior subequal.
Posterior coxa rather strongly inflated, pilose; pores few, large and
small, placed in two irregular rows along the ventral plate, which is
very wide, sides rapidly converging and substraight. Last pair of
feet of male rather slender, armed; of female somewhat more slender
and armed. Pairs of feet of <5 , 80; of 9, 83. Length of body $ ?
34.5'""', width, 0.5"""; 9 , 53.5""", width, 1.4""".

This species ought to form a new genus, but having only an adult
female and a young male, I have not been able to examine the mouth-
parts.

It differs from ScolioplancK in the characters of the cephalic plate,
prehensorial feet, and the last ventral plate and pair of feet.

12. Scolopocryptops sexspinosiis (Say).

Specimens from this locality, as well as those from more Southern
ones, differ in some important details from the Northern specimens,
principally in having the last pair of legs more slender and the last
ventral plate narrower; but these characters do not seem to warrant
the formation of a different species.

13. Scolopocryptops nigridius McNeill.

14. Theatops crassipes (Mcincrt).

NOTES ON A COLLECTION OF MYRIAPODA FROM CUBA.

HV CHARLES II. UOLI.MAN.

This paper is based on a small but interesting collection of myria-
pods that I have received from Prof. Felipe Poey, of Havana, Cuba.

As Prof. Poey did not mention any particular locality in the island
of Cuba, I suppose that most of the species are from the vicinity of
Havana.

1 desire to tender my thanks to Prof. Poey for the material I have
received from his hands, and to Dr. Juan Gundlach for a specimen of a
Sentigera.

The types of the new species hare been deposited in the IT. 8. Na-
tional Museum.

1. Siphonophora portoriceiisis Brandt.

Siphonophora portoricensis Brandt, Bull. Acad. St. Petersb., 1836 (name only, testc
Gervais); Brandt, Recneil, 50, 1811 (mime only, tente Cierrals); Koch, iSyst.
Myr., 143, 1847 (name OH///); Gervais, Apteres, 209, 1847 (name OH?//); Peters,
Monatsber. kirn, preuss. Akad. Wiss. Berlin, 549, 1864 (first description);
Karscb, Ann. Soc. Ent. Belgiqur, 166, 1884.

SipltonopUont • citbana Karscb, Mittbeil. Miindi. Ent. \Yr., 144,1880; Borre, Ann.
Soc. Ent. B.'lgiqne, 81,1884.

I have received from Prof. Poey a dried Siplionophora, which I have
been unable to separate from either Sipli. portoricensis Brandt, or &i]>h.
ciibana Karsch.

Concerning the differences between these two species, Karsch, under
his description of /SVp/t. cubana, says:

" An eadem species cum Sipli. portoricensis Br., qua tamen capite basi 1« /!<»•<', ruxtro
mill to breriore et pra'clpue longitudine miilto miiiorc .satin diffi'm' ritlffnr ?"

As such differences are practically valueless, it is best to consider
. portoricensis and eub<i><(i as forming one species.

2. Namioleiie cubensis, sp. nov.

Diagnosis. — Related to Nannolcnt- Ixirlici P»ollman,but the cii'ctilar de-
pressions along the transverse segmental sutures not extending all
around the segment as in burke-i, but only to the repugnatorial ]>ore.

The following differences are also worthy of note:

Dark brownish-blue, posterior border of segments brown, an indis-
tinct row of lateral spots, antenna' and legs light-brown. Ocelli dis-
86

THE MYRIAPODA OF NORTH AMERICA. 87

tinct, about 10, arranged in :> transverse scries. Segments 47. Antenna-
and legs stouter.

The above notes are based on a dried female, which was afterwards
soaked in alcohol. As this is the first record of a species of this genus
from Cuba, 1 have given it the specific name of culx-nxi*.

3. Paradesmus poeyi Bolliiian. Sir ongylosoma poeyi Jiollman, Km. Amcr., 81',
(Cuba).

Abundant.

Through a misunderstanding of the description of rarailesmus I
placed this species in Htt-onyylosoma, and did not discover my mistake
until after the description of the above species had been published.

This species should no\v be placed in the genus r«r«<l<-xmns. It is
very closely related to, if not identical with, P. rirorlHN Karsch, from
Mayotti and Anjaani.

The copulation foot of the males of poeyi differs from that otmcarhis,
as figured by Karsch, in having the femoral part twice as long as the
tibial, and the lower lobe of the tibial part is wide and thin, with a dis-
tinct median thickening, not cylindrical as in r

4. Leptodesmus couloni. 7W;/</r.s«in.v (Oxi/itrux) con Jon i Humbert \ Saussure,
Myv. Nov. amer., 3, 1869 (< \iba).

Among the material sent by Poey is a dried female, which agrees
perfectly with the descriptions of the above species.

5. Stenonia maculata, sj». nov.

J>iaf/nosin. — Related to Stenonia fimbriata (Peters), but at once sep
arated by the tuberculation of the dorsal plates, by the cienulation of
lateral carime, by the character of anal segment and the pattern of col-
oration.

The following is a careful description of the species: Rosy, especially
the tubercles; nearly all the repugnatorial pore bearing segments with
a deep blotch on each side above the carime; antenna' dark, legs pale.
Body wide, convex, not attenuated anteriorly, slightly posteriorly. An-
tenna- short, snbclavate. First segment very wide, completely conceal
ing the head as in Jlmbrintux ; a row of small scales along the posterior
margin; two large median scales; along anterior margin a row of
twelve rectangular scales, between the third and fourth from posterior
angle a distinct notch, between the others a slight waviness. Other
segments with three distinct rows of scales with smaller ones inter-
spersed; lateral carina- crenulate the first six, the eighth, eleventh, and
fourteenth, with two crennlations. the rest with three: a distinct me-
dian dorsal line. Anal segment with six tubercles along posterior
margin: preanal scale obtuse, with two long, slender spines.

Length. A <»""", 9 ll!.r>"""; width. ,4 L'.L" ..... , 9 L'.X""".

This new species belongs to the snbgenns Sfciiuttin (=Platyrhacus).

Among the material sent by Prof. I'oey is a dried male and female of
this species.

88 BULLETIN 46, UNITED STATES NATIONAL MUSEUM.

6. Rhacophoms magnus, sp. MOV.

Diagnosis. — Related to R. •marantuN (Ivarseh), but with an indistinct
row of tubercles along anterior and posterior margins of segments, and
a few on lateral carime.

Description of species, — Brown, legs light chestnut; robust, wide and
depressed, slightly attenuated anteriorly. Segments with a transverse
sulcus as in mar ant us; tubercles indistinct, arranged in a more or less
irregular row along the margins, three or four large scales on lateral
carinse; lateral carinaj large, strongly margined, anterior angles
rounded, posterior much produced. Repugnatorial pore large, subapi-
cal, marginal. Length of last fourteen segments 22.5""", width of
seventh segment 4.8""".

The type of this species is a mutilated female, of which the head and
hrst six segments are lost. On account of this I have been unable to
determine the subgenus unless it belongs to the same as maranius.
Karsch has described two other species of this genus from Cuba, but
both belong to the subgenus Cryptodesmus and lack thi> transverse
dorsal sulcus. This is the largest Rltaeoplior-ux known.

7. Orphiiaeus brasiliensis Meinert.

The collection contains a fine female, which agrees very well with
Dr. Meinert's description of this species. This is the first record of
this species from the West Indies.

8. Mecistocephalus punc.tifroiis Newport.

There are a few specimens in the collection which I refer to this spe-
cies, agreeing with Dr. Meinert in considering M. uuililinyii a doubtful
species and identical with M. punctifrons.

9. Scolopendra alternans Leach.

One female of this species sent by Professor Poey.

NOTES ON A COLLECTION OF MYRIAPODA FROM MOSSY CREEK
TENN., WITH A DESCRIPTION OF A NEW SPECIES.

BY CHARLES II. BOLLMAN.

The following list of myriapods is based upon an extensive collection
made at various times by Mr. Charles B. Brainier, of Mossy Creek,
Term. As the material was collected in all seasons of the year, and a
large number of species found, it is safe to say that this list is almost
complete.

Notes on a small collection made at Mossy Creek and other places
in East Tennessee, by Dr. John C. Brainier, were published in the Ann.
N. Y. Acad. Nat. Sci. for 1887; but in this list there are no species men-
tioned as occurring at Mossy Creek which have not been found by Mr.
Charles B. Branner.

I here desire to express my sincere thanks to Mr. Charles B. B rainier
for the numerous specimens he has so kindly sent me.

1. Aiidrognathus corticarius Cope.

Common. The number of segments vary from 55-65 in the adult
specimens. The fifth and sixth anteiinal joints are not united as Cope
has stated, but are distinctly separate, the sixth being the largest joint.

2. Nemasoma miiiutum (Brandt).

In one lot of material sent were six specimens of this species.

3. Parajulus pennsylvanicus (Brandt).
Abundant.

4. Cambala annulata (Say).

Abundant. All the specimens of this species which T have received
from East Tennessee and North Carolina (Balsam and Chapel Hill)
are very large (45-52min), and of a very dark-brown shade, while those
which 1 have examined from other localities (Indiana and Arkansas)
are much smaller (26-38""") and of a light yellowish brown shade.
Specimens from the latter localities may represent a geographical
species, but it is hard to say what form Say described, although his
description may apply to the former, as his specimens were from Georgia
and Florida.

5. Lysiopetalum lactarium (Say).

Very common.

6. Striaria granulosa Bollinan.

One female of this species was found in the collection.

This specimen is curled in the same manner as the type specimen,
and no more important characters can be ascertained until one of the
specimens is torn to pieces.

7. Campodes flavicornis Kodi.

This seems to be a rare species in this locality.

8. Fontaria evides tollman.

Xo others besides the two type specimens of this species were found.

9. Fontaria termesseeiisis, s]>. nov.

Diagnosis. — Related to Fontaria c«ntnitf« (McXeill), bnt the lateral
carin;e larger, and the copulation loot of male different.

Type.—U. S. Nat. .Museum; Xo. 203, Mus. Ind. Univ.; Xo. 388,
author's coll.

Description. — Brown, lateral carina1 pink: an indistinct dark median
dorsal line; legs and nnderparts yellow. Body depressed; anterior
segments of female noticeably attenuated; segments smooth, marked
with numerous short lines; papilla- prominent, especially on lateral
carina1. Vertex snlcits moderate; occipital, antennal, and clypeal fovel
ohe single. Lateral carime large, moderately produced; repugnatoria-
pores large and placed on the upper edge of the posterior third of the
cariua?. Ventral plates produced into a short, straight cone; coxa' un-
armed. Male: Segments more depressed than in the female, antenna'
more crassate. Copulation foot deeply bifid: the inner or shorter
branch cylindrical, tapering, twisted at base; outer or seminal branch
somewhat flattened and wavy, end slightly expanded. Length, L'3-
27"""; width, 5-7'

TenncHNcciiNis is very closely related to <-<txt«Hea in all points except
the copulation foot and lateral carina'. From <>hloit(/« it is separated
by not having the posterior border of segments red (white, ace. to
Koch, but this is probably due to immersion in alcohol). Xo. 388 con-
tains live specimens, two males and three females, of which two have
been deposited in the U. S. Xational Museum. Xo. li<)3. .Mus. lud.

DESCRIPTION OF A NEW SPECIES OF INSECT, FONTARIA PUL-
CHELLA, FROM STRAWBERRY PLAINS, JEFFERSON COUNTY,
TENNESSEE.

BY CHARLES II. 15OLLMAN.

Fontaria pulchella, sp. nov.

Diagnosis. — Related to F. oblonya* Koch, but the lateral carina}
smaller, and produced into a sharp point posteriorly; repugnatorial
pore subinferior; ventral spine large, cylindrical, tapering, curved out-
wards.

Type.—\J. S. Nat. Mus.; No. 404, Author's coll.

Description. — Brown, lateral carime and posterior border of segments
red; legs and under parts yellow. Body very robust, anterior segment
scarcely attenuated; smooth, with numerous short lines, as in canianea
and tenncssccnsis; papilla} less prominent. Vertex sulcus distinct;
foveolfb single. Lateral carina} small, margins swollen and produced
posteriorly into a sharp point. Ilepugnatorial pore large, subinl'erior,
subapical. Ventral plate armed ; cox* unarmed. Length, 20""" ; width,
4.3"11" ; height, 4.2mm.

Dr. Koch's figure of Fontaria obi on f /a represents a species which is
more depressed, lateral carrha1 larger, and the repugnatorial pores not
subinferior, but on the upper side as in cas1«n<'<t or tennesseensis.

The white with which he says the lateral carime and posterior border
of segments are colored is probably red, faded by bad alcohol.

This species is described from two females collected at Strawberry
Plains by Mr. Charles B. Brainier, of Mossy Creek, Tennessee.

NOTES UPON SOME MYRIAPODS BELONGING TO THE U. S.

NATIONAL MUSEUM.

UY CIIAULES II. BOLLMAN.

Through the kindness of Dr. Charles V. Riley, I have received for
examination the unidentified lot of myriapoda contained in the collec-
tion of the U. S. National Museum.

This lot contains both foreign and domestic species, but in this paper
I have only given notes upon the forms found in the United States.

In addition, I have included several notes upon some material sent
to me by Prof. L. M. Underwood, of Syracuse, N. Y.

The jc specimens originally belonged to a collection, the remainder
of which he had presented to the Museum, and has been sent to me
among the material received from Dr. Kiley.

I desire to tender my thanks to Dr. C. V. Kiley, Mr. J. I). Smith, and
to 1'rof. L. M. Underwood for various favors.

1. Polyzoiiium rosalbum (Cope). Marquette, Mich.; E. A. Schwarz.

This specimen, a female, differs from any I have seen in having the
general coloration more intensified. Dorsal plates reddish brown,
paler posteriorly and along margins; antenna' almost black ; face and
legs mottled with a purplish shade.

2. Platydesmus lecoiitei (Wood). Ace. 19512, 9, Tallnlah, Ga. ; L. M. Underwood.
Segments 39-49.

5. Spirobolus spinigerus (Wood). Ace. 19343, Cape Romano, Fla.; F. 15. Meek.
Segments of female, 47-49.

6. Spirostreptus montezumae (Saussure). El Paso, Tex. ; Potts.

The specimen before me seems to agree in all respects with the de-
scriptions of N. montr-intni; \\liich has only been found in the provinces
of Vera Cruz and Orixaba, Mexico. This is the lirst record of any
species of this genus from the United States.

7. Parajulus canadeiisis (Newport). Lnray, Va. ; L. M. Underwood.

These specimens agree in all respects with the females of canadensis,
but H male might show some secondary sexual differences. Segments
48-53. Last segment only completely mucronate in about half the

specimens.

13. Leptodesmus varius (McNeill). Maeon, Ga. ; L. M. Underwood.

I have received from Professor Underwood a young female which
agrees in all essential points with the types of varius from Pensacola,
Fla.

Ventral plate and cox;e unarmed; that part of ventral plate which
lies between the two pairs of legs of 11-lGth segments produced into
a conical lobe; legs densely but shortly pilose; color brown, lateral
cariiue and under parts yellow. Length, TO11""; width, 15mm.

15. Fontaria georgiana, sp. r.ov.

Dlaynos'iH. — Probably related to F. rh'f/hiien.xift, but the ventral plates
and coxai sharply spiued; the upper branch of genitalia bifid.

Habitat. — Lookout Mountain, Tallulah and Macou, Ga.; L. M. Under-
wood.

Ty^.— Ace's 19542, 4, 0, 10, 11, 20; U. S. Nat. Museum.

Description. — Dull brown, lateral cariiue; a median dorsal row of
spots and underparts yellow. Segments considerably wrinkled. Ver-
tex sulcus shallow, occipital foveohe 24-2, autennal and clypeal single.
Lateral carhuc large, interlocking, posterior angles scarcely produced.
Ifepugnatorial pore large, placed on the upper side of margin near the
middle. Ventral spines sharp; coxa- spined. $ : Segments more de-
pressed than in the female, and antenna- more crassate. Coxa:1 of cop-
ulation foot pilose and armed above with a large, straight spine, as in
/•'. riryiiiicnxiii. Distal halves of copulation foot curving away from
each other, but the ends come together and interlock; bitid, the lower
branch cylindrical, tapering and slightly curved upwards, the upper
branch bitid, the seminal branch of which is flattened, the other is a
cylindrical hooked spine. Length, 28-35""".

THE MYKIAPODA OF NORTH AMERICA. 97

This species shows relationship to F. einjinicnuix by the coxa? of cop-
ulation foot being provided with a long, straight spine. It also agrees
with the more eastern specimens of F. virgin intuit, by having the veii-
tral plates and coxa- spined. F. georgiana is described from numerous
specimens from Macoii, a few from Tallulah, and one from Lookout
Mountain.

16. Fontaria tallulah, sp. nov.

Diagnosis. — Ventral plates and coxa- spiued as in F. yvorgiana, but
separated from that species by having the lateral carina' and posterior
margin of dorsal plates red; posterior angle of lateral carin;e rather
sharply produced.

Habitat. — Tallulah, Ga.; L. M. Underwood.

2fype.— Ace. 11)542, 20; U. S. Nat. Museum.

Description. — Brownish black, lateral carina* and posterior border of
each .segment red; antenna*, legs, and uuderparts yellow. Segments
depressed, anterior segment moderately attenuated; corrugated, es-
pecially posteriorly and on lateral carina' ; papilla* distinct: vertex snl-
cus distinct; occipital foveola* 2-4-2, antenna! and clypeal single (1+1).
Lateral earina- large, interlocking, posterior angle rather sharply pro-
duced. Repugnatorial pores large, placed on the upper margin of pos-
terior third. Ventral spines straight, stout, and conical, coxa- armed.
Length, 25""".

F. tallulah seems to be only related to F. gcot-giana by having the
ventral plates and coxa* spined. In the pattern of coloration it ap-
proaches F. rubromarginata, but that species has the ventral plates
unarmed and therefore belongs to the same section as .F. corruuata,
rridcu. etc. This species is described from an apparently adult female.

17. Fontaria rileyi, -sp. nov.

Diagnosis. — Brown, lateral carina- red: ventral plate, and coxa* un-
armed: copulation foot stout, flattened, end subsimilar to a bird's head.

Tiipi'.— Ace. 1!)542, 5, U. S. Nat. Museum.

Habitat. — Macon, Ga.: L. M. Underwood, &.

hcscfijttion. — Brown, lateral carina' red; antenna-, legs, and under
parts yellow. Segments moderately depressed, scarcely attenuated
anteriorly; very corrugated, papilla* not prominent; behind each pore
an indistinct black swelling. Vertex sulcus shallow; occipital, anten-
na!, and clypeal foveola' single. Lateral carina- large, interlocking, pos-
terior angle not much produced. Repugnatorial pores large, placed
on the posterior third of margin. Ventral plate unarmed: coxa- not or
very slightly armed; femora strongly armed; claws normal. Male:
Copulation foot stout, Hattcited, curved, end subsimilar to a bird's head.
Length. i:>>..~>"""; width, 10.2'

This species belongs to the same group as /•'. <<n-fii<j«ta, rriilr*, etc.,
and should stand near the latter, as shown b\ tin- form of the copula-
lion tool. It is separated from /•'. n-itlr:< by having the copulation foot

more flattened, especially the end, which is cylindrical in e tides; be-
sides F. rileyi attains a larger size.

This species is described from a male specimen.

1 take great pleasure in dedicating this species to Dr. C. V. Kiley,
United States Entomologist, to whom I am indebted for numerous
favors.

18. Euryurus erythropygus australis, snbsp. nov.

Diagnosis. — Similar to E. erythropygus, but the lateral carime larger,
the margin less swollen, more straight, and the deuticules larger.
Upper branch of copulation foot five times as long as the lower. Body
slenderer.

Type. — Ace. 19541', 18, Indian Springs, Ua. ; L. M. Underwood, $ .

When compared with E. erythropygus this new geographical species
plainly differs from it by the characters given. The lateral margin of
caring are also slightly creuulate and the anterior is somewhat serrate.
Length, 281"11' ; width, 3.4""".

The exceedingly long branch of the copulation foot at once separates
australis from the true erythropygus. The inner tooth is also absent,
but this is subject to slight variations in erythropyyux.

The above notes are taken from a male which is slightly broken.

19. Polydesmus bramieri Bollnian. Ace. 19542, 23, Tallulah, Ga. ; L. M. Underwood.
These specimens are all females, and I refer them to this species with

some doubt, but as they are from the region in which P. branucri is
found they must belong to that species and not to P. serratus, which is
not quite so southern in its range.

segment; cox;r of prehensorial legs of about equal length and breadth.

As is indicated by the above diagnosis, this new species is closely re-
lated to d. HH»-(l(l.r.

•

My specimen is a male, and as G. mordax is described from a female
the following secondary differences are worthy of notice:

Anal legs moderately crassate, densely and shortly pilose; claw
large; pairs of legs 40; length ;;."">""".

If the characters given in this diagnosis are those peculiar to a male,
this new species must be identical with mordax, but the proportions of
the coxa' of prehensorial legs seem to convince me that they are not
markings peculiar to a male.

27. Geophilus smithi, sp. nov.

Diaynosix. — Related to (f. huronicnf<\ but the coxal pores more numer-
ous, 25-;>0: coxa* of prehensorial legs of about equal length and width;
pairs of legs of female 40; length L'0-28""".

Habitat.— Washington, !).<'.; J. B. Smith.

Tu)H'.— V'. S. Nat. Museum.

This species is very closely related to (f. hitronicHS, but it seems to
be sutliciently distinct as shown by the number of coxal pores, which
are 25-,'JU in number in xmithi, but only 7 or S in luirotiicii.s; also by the
number of pairs of legs (Introiiii'iix. t 5;>-55. 9 55-57).

This species is described from two females, one of which is an adult,
the other being about three-fourths grown.

The specimens contained in the first two vials seem to belong to that

name of »S'. ycoryicus. The only real tangible difference 1 can find be-
tween these specimens and the true xr.rsitiiioNH* is in the moderately
tool lied condition of the iii'osteruum. and I think it is best, to consider
in as not a valid species.

36. Lithobius obesus Stuxberg. No. 73«, U. S. N. M., Salt Lake City. Utah.

In this vial, along with a few hexopods, I found a male Lithobius,
which I provisionally refer to this species.

As this is a male, the following differences are worthy of notice:

Antennae 22-join ted; coxal pores 2, 3, 4, 3; spines of first pairs of
legs 2, .'3, 2; of anal pair 1, 3, 2, 0; anal legs of male moderately eras-
sate, tibia slightly swollen, excavated on the inner side near the base
and the upper interior angle produced into a slight pilose lobe; last
tarsal joints of legs more densely pilose beneath than the rest.

In the character of the anal legs this specimen agrees with paradoxus,
but that species has the number of coxal pores and the spines of the
anal legs less.

37. Lithobius elattus, sp. nov.

Diaynoals. — Belated to L. [niUnx, but spines of anal legs, 1, 3, 2, 0, or

Description. — Light brown, head and antennae darker; tip of antenna^
rufous. Moderately robust, smooth, sparsely pilose; head of about
equal length and breadth. Antenna' moderate, articles 20-22. Ocelli
8-10, arranged in 3-4 scries. Prosternal teeth 2 -f I'. Coxal pores 2,

into a pilose lobe at its upper anterior angle. Female: Claw tripar-
tite, short and wide; spines 2 4- 2, short and stout, end flattened and
barely serrate. Length S-i).; ">""".

This species is described from four specimens, three females and one
male from Washington, I). C.. and a male from Marksville, Va.

Although the above descriptions hardly seem to do justice in sepa-
rating this new species from L. i>nUun, yet, when we place the two
species side by side, they can nol be mistaken, as the size of Julius is
always 2-1""" larger.

THE MYKIAPODA OF NOKT11 AMERICA.

Time may prove that this new species is only an eastern \ anrty of
L. pull us, but until intermediate specimens arc found it is best to con-
sider them as distinct species.

Male: Anal legs somewhat stouter than those of female. Female:
Claw of genitalia bipartite, short and wide; spines 2 + 2: inner much
shorter. Length 7-7.8""".

I at first considered these specimens as representing a new species.
but as the apparent differences gradually dwindled down to the num-
ber of spines of the first pair of legs, I finally concluded that they were
identical with Aw/i/, which has only been found at Saucelito, Cal.

For the sake of completeness I have given a description of the speci-
mens.

Male: Anal legs moderately short; femora considerably swollen on
the inner side, and armed on the posterior half with two large, slightly
curved. bluntly serrated spines; tibia excavated on the inner side; the
posterior half produced into a bipartite contorted lobe, of which the
posterior is armed with a short, curved, sharply serrated spine. The
last two tarsal joints of anal and penultimate pairs of legs sulcate on
the inner side. Length, 17.5111"1.

Although the males of nearly every species of the subgenus Neolitho-
bins show some modifications of the anal legs, yet this species presents
a curious peculiarity and approaches to that of L. bilabiatus in the ex-
tent of the modification. The above description is based upon a single
male specimen.

Antenna1, 29-34; coxal pores, 5, G. 5, 4-0, 7, 7, G; prosternal teeth,

9+9 or 10+10; spines of first pair of legs, 2, 3, 2; spines of anal and
penultimate pairs, 1, 3, 3, 2.

42. Lithobius underwoodi, sp. nov.

Diagnosis. — Eelated to L. jnventus, but the prosternal teeth G + 7;
coxal pores, 7, 7, 7, G, transverse; size much larger.

Hdbitat. — Macou, Ga.; L. M. Underwood.

Type.— Ace. 19542, 22; U. S. Nat. Museum.

Description. — Dark shining brown, head and antenunp darkest, legs
paler. Robust, attenuated posteriorly, moderately smooth; head wider
than long (4:3). Anteniue long, extending to the tenth segment, arti-
cles 32. Ocelli 25, in (i transverse series. Prosternal teeth C + 7. Coxal
pores, 7, 7, 7, G, transverse. Spines of first pair of legs, 2, 3, 2; of
penultimate and anal pair, 1, 3, 3, 2. Anal and penultimate pairs of
legs each with two claws. Coxa1 of the last three pairs of legs laterally
armed.

Female : The last two tarsal joints of anal and penultimate pairs of
legs sulcate on the inner side; claw of genitalia large and long, indis-
tinctly tripartite; spines 2+2, stout, inner shortest. Length, 20"mi.

This species is very different from L. jurciitiix, which is the only
North American species belonging to the same group, although they
may have originally sprung from the same stock. This species is de-
scribed from a female which has the anal pairs of legs broken off.

43. Lithobius rex, sp. iiov.

Diagnosis. — Related to L. rali^ns, of Europe, but the antenna' 20-
jointed.

Habitat.— Tallulah, Ga.; L. M. Underwood.

Type.— Ace. 19542, 21; U. S. Nat. Museum.

Description. — Grayish-brown, head, antenna4, first dorsal plate, and
margins of others dark. Robust, attenuated posteriorly, dorsal plates
much wrinkled, sparsely pilose; head wider than long (G:5). Antenna1

Female: Claw of genitalia wide and short, tripartite: spines 2+2,
short and stout, ends tlattened and obscurely serrate. Length, 25""".

This species is described from a female specimen, which has the fourth
segment considerably angnlated, and I at first placed it in a new sub-
genus. But a study of multidcniatus showed that the angnlatiou of
the fourth dorsal plate was subject to considerable variation.

This is the only North American species of the subgenus £nlithol>iux
that has thecoxal pores in a single series, and in this respect approaches
L. raliilux of Europe ; but that species has 40-48 antennal joints. Ace.

CATALOGUE OF THE MYRIAPODS OF INDIANA.*

1!Y rllAHI.KS II. liOLLMAN.

The following- catalogue of the myriapods of the State of Indiana is
based largely upon the material contained in the museum of the Indiana
University and my own private collection. I have also included any
notes, bearing upon the myriapods of Indiana, that I have found in the
papers of other authors. The material in the museum of the Indiana
University and my own collection is principally from the following
localities :

Boswell, Bonton County ................ D. M. Mottier.

La Fayette, Tippecanoe County ........ F. M. Webster.

Kokomo, Howard County ..... . ........ A. AY. Moon.

West-field, Hamilton County ........... F. C. Test.

Indianapolis, Marion County ........... F. C. Test.

Hagerstown, Wayne County ........... F. C. Test.

Richmond. Wayne County ............. F. C. Test.

Dublin, Wayne County ................. Jerome McNeill.

( Jreencastle, Putnam. County ........... O. P. Jenkins.

Terre Haute, Vigo County ............. W. S. Blatchley.

Counersvillo, Fayette County .......... Robert Hosier.

Brookville, Franklin County ........... A. W. Butler.

Bloomington, Monroe County .......... C. H. Bollman.

Lawrenceburgh, Dearborn Counly ..... D. M. Mottier.

Mitchell, Lawrence County ............ C. H. Bollman.

Salem, Washington County ............ C. H. Bollman.

New Providence, Clark County ........ C. H. Bollman.

Wyandotte, Crawford County .......... C. H. Bollman.

New Harmony, Posey County .......... R. D. Owen.

I desire to express my thanks to the following-named gentlemen, who
have kindly collected specimens for me, thus enabling me to make this
catalogue much more complete and satisfactory than would have been
possible without their aid. As more species have been found about
Bloomington I have given it, when mentioning the localities of the
different species, precedence over the other places.

I do not mean to say that this list is complete, for I think the follow-
ing additional species will some time be found within the limits of the
State: Parajulm cana<lcnsis, l^trajulus ilircrxifrons^ Potydesmus pineto-
rum, Theatops spinicaudus, ffenicops fulvicornis, and Litliobiiis

* This catalogue is prepared partly from material in the V. S. National Museum

collection, and the author has deposited types of the species in the Museum. — C'. \ •

106 BULLETIN 46, UNITED STATES NATIONAL MUSEUM.

C. annul ata minor is abundant in southern Indiana, and I have over
twenty-five specimens from Little Rock.

The specimens Packard has recorded as occurring in Little Wyaiidotte
Cave, Indiana, and Zwingler's and Carter's Caves, Kentucky, are prob-
ably examples of this new geographical subspecies, but they may be
cave varieties.

15. Scotherpes wyaiidotte, sp.nov.

.Diaf/non-iti : Related to tic. Innatum (Harger), but the color dark,
ocelli arranged in a triangular patch, and the body larger and more
robust.

Description: Body stout, short, scarcely depressed. Dorsal plates
reticulated; lateral carime as in Imiatum. Ocelli 10-4, in a triangular
patch. Yellowish-brown; legs pale. Length, 10"""; width, 1.5""".

This new species is described from- a female which was found a few

18. Pseudotremia carterensis (Packard).

Around the mouth of a well at the foot of the path leading from the
hotel, past Little Wyandotte Gave, I obtained live specimens of a Grnx-
pedosoma that seem to agree with the description of J^rmlotrciniH
ciircrnanini cnrtcroixix Packard from Bat. X, and /wingler's Caves,
Kentucky.

That this is a distinct species and not merely a variety of ('. carer-
nanim is distinctly shown by the male copulation foot, the si/.e and
color of body, and its habitat.

My largest specimen — a male — is .'JO'1"" long and i>.i"'"» wide.

19. Leptodesmus placidus (Wood).

Mr. Mottier has sent me two specimens of this rare species from Bos-
well, Benton County.

20. Fontaria virgiiiiensis (Prnry).

Common: Bloomiiigton ; Boswell; Westfield; TerrelTaute; Couners-

21. Fontaria corlacea Koch.

rolydexmufi <-<>rrn<i(itnx Wood, Proceed. Ao;id. X;if. Sri. I'hila., (!, 1864 (Michigan,
\nr York).

Common: Bloomington; Boswell; Kokonio; Wyaudotte.

A comparison of specimens of corrnyata Wood with Koch's figures
and descriptions of coriacea shows that they are the same. Koch's fig-
ures show a broad yellow band along the posterior margin of each seg-
ment. This is a character common to the eastern specimens, but rare
hi the western forms.

22. Fontaria indianae, sp. MOV.

BULLETIN 46, UNITED STATES NATIONAL MUSEUM.

This species is described from ten specimens, four females and three
males, from Hrookville, Franklin County, and three females from Hagers-
town, Wayne County. It agrees with the eastern specimens of coriacea
in having a broad yellow band along the posterior margin of each
segment, but the shape of the male copulation foot, especially the bifid
character of the basal spine, will serve to distinguish it from coriacea.

23. Fontaria butleriana, sp. nov.

Diagnosis: Belated to Fontaria coriacea Koch, but the segments
strongly attenuated posteriorly; size larger and width less in propor-
tion to the length ; dark greenish-black, with a narrow yellow line along
the posterior border of each segment.

Habitat : La Fayette and Brookville.

The above measurements, when compared with those of Fontaria co-
riacea clearly show the difference in size.

This species is described from two females — one from each locality.

Tt approaches very closely to Koch's figures of F. viryinieusis, and it
is probable that he has described this species as rirf/inieuftis.

MYRIAPODA.
BY C. H. BOLLMAN.

1. Spirobolus sanctee-luciae, sp. iiov.

Diagnosis. — Allied to Spirobolus surinamensis Bollman; but the horse-
shoe-like markings only prominent along the middle line of segment;
no deep sulcus behind repugnatorial pore; legs light yellow.

Type.— No. 590.

Habitat. — Port Castries, St. Lucia, Windward Islands.

Description. — Segments dark brown, posterior borders lighter; ante-
rior margin of first pale; head and first dorsal plate greenish; an ten me
pale brown; legs very light yellow (pale), probably red ill life.

Bather slender, anterior segments attenuated.

Venter slightly reticulated, suleus very indistinct; clypeus not deeply
excised, foveohe -J+12, distant, sulcus shallow.

Antenme slenderer than in surinamensis, hardly reaching second
segment.

Ocelli about 40, in a series, patch suboval.

Segments shining, rather smooth, especially posteriorly; anterior ten
segments with distinct concentric striae on basal part; posterior part,
especially on anterior segments, sulcate beneath; division of segments
not evident, a hollow depression along which are horseshoe-like de-
pressions; these are scattered over the dorsal part of segments, but are
small and shallow; the posterior four segments almost destitute of
markings.

First segment narrowed laterally, anterior margin concave, a strong
marginal sulcus.

Anal segment obtusely angled, not surpassing valves; anal valves
narrowly margined, reticulated ; anal scale very slightly rounded, almost
transverse.

Repugnatorial pore large, situated in hollow on anterior part.

Legs extending slightly beyond sides of body.

Segments 50.

Length of body 15"""; width 3.4""". This species-is described from
an adult female; in the same vial is a very young specimen, showing
only 41 segments. In Karscli's <•<• \t-in- Juli<l<-n dcx /ii-rliner Mum-urn"
this species would stand near Xi>irobolnx hicimictis from Mauritius.

3. Pectiniunguis americanus, geii. et sp. nov.

Difn/nonin. — Eelated to ftclti'iulyla cximia Meiuert; but the anal pair
of legs jointed and the claw of maxillary palpus pectinate along its
entire under side.

Habitat. — Piehiliugue Bay, Gulf of California.

Description. — Orange, darkest anteriorly; legs pale.

Robust, scarcely attenuated anteriorly, more posteriorly.

Segments not polished, very finely reticulate; sparsely pilose.

Prehensorial legs not reaching base of anteume; sternum almost
twice as wide as long, anterior margin slightly callous; coxte of about
equal length and width, unarmed, anterior margin not much sinuate.

Cephalic plate slightly longer than wide; basal plate three times as
wide as long; pre-basal plate exposed. Antenna1 filiform, rather long.

Dorsal plate manifestly bisulcate.

Spiracles suboval, longitudinal, anterior largest.

Ventral plates not silicate; porous area suboval, much smaller on
posterior segments; last ventral plate very wide, pilose, sides con-
verging.

Posterior pleura- large, pilose; pores large, concealed.

Anal pair of legs 6-jointed, moderately crassate, joints all large,
densely pilose; unarmed.

Pairs of legs 9 <!.~>.

Length 501U1U; width 1.55""".

This species is described from an adult female.

According to Meinert's diagnosis of the genus Ncliemltflit this species
would be included under that genus; but the three known species may
be separated by the following generic characters:

«. Claw of maxillary palpus not pectinate, outer part of first pair of maxillae without
a trace of a lateral process; labrum entirely united, teeth L'O-L'L', equal; anal
legs 6-jointed .................................................. XemorniKix.

art. Claw of maxillary palpus pectinate; outer part of lirst maxilla- with a small

lateral process; lahriun free in the middle.

b. Aual pair of legs .Vjointed; elaw of maxillary palpus only pectinate under the
apex; labral teeth about !.">, equal; lirst joint of anal legs almost coaleM-e
with second ....................................................... Efimia.

bh. Anal pair of legs G-jointed; claw of maxillary palpus pectinate for its entire
length; labral teeth X-j-10+8, the outer enlarged; tirst joint of anal legs not
coalesced with second .......................................... imericanus.

< )n account of these generic differences between the three species,
especially between the lirst and the last two, I have thought it best to
place aiiio'iciiinis and cxiiniu under the new genus rcctiniuntiiti*, of
which timt'rirtniiiN is the type, restricting Si-he ndyhi to ucmorcitxix.

The generic differences between <iHn-ri<-(tnun and <:rhni« are no doubt
worthy of subgeneric rank, and I therefore propose the name \<m-
for the reception of c.rh

4. Scolopendra macracanthus, sp. nov.

Diagnosis. — Allied to Scolopendra subspinipes Leach; but the femora
of anal legs armed beneath with three spines, of which the two anterior
are very large, the superior interior surface armed \vith six spines; the
first nine dorsal plates imma.rginate.

Type.— So. 1C5F.

Habitat. — Pacific coast, some place between Lower California and
Straits of Magellan.

Description. — Brownish-green; tip of antenna1 and lateral parts of
dorsal plates green; head and first dorsal plate darker.

Rather slender, smooth, only lightly punctate anteriorly.

Head suborbicular, punctate, not sulcate.

Antenna1, 18-joiuted: articles moderate, the first six not hirsute.

Prosternal teeth 5 + 5, the inner two small and coalesced; coxal tooth
large, apex carinate, nodule present.

Dorsal plate, except the first nine (10), margiuate; sulci beginning
at the third and indistinct on the posterior; posterior border trans-
versely wrinkled.

Sulci of ventral plates distinct; last ventral plate long and narrow,
sides converging, posterior border rounded.

Second tarsal joint of all the legs, except anal, armed beneath with
a spine.

Anal legs long, slender; femora, with six spines on the superior inte-
rior surface, arranged in three series; three beneath, uniseriate, the
anterior two largest: apical process bifid.

Posterior pleura.1 densely porose; angular process small, bifid.

Length 120""".

In the collection is a specimen without a more definite locality than
'- Pacific coast."

The following key will help to separate it from the related species:

Femora of penultimate pair of legs unarmed; lirst dorsal plate without a transverse

furrow; tarsal joints armed.
«. Femora of anal legs unarmed beneath, two spines within; the lirst ti-11 dorsal

plates immarginate ; last two tarsal joints unarmed DEIIAANI.

ad. Femora of anal legs armed beneath.

A CATALOGUE OF THE KNOWN MYRIAPODA OF NORTH AMERICA,

NORTH OF MEXICO.

!*Y CHARLES HAUVEY KOLLMAX.

In examining the literature relating to the North Ainerieau Myria-
poda, I liave found descriptions of a large number of species which do
not seem to be known to specialists working in this branch. On ac-
count of these and the number of species recently described I have
deemed it best to form a catalogue, believing it would be the best
means of bringing these facts before students. I have used the same
divisions as used by Packard in the Third Report of the V. S. Entomo-
logical Commission.

SOME NEW SPECIES OF NORTH AMERICAN MYRIAPODS.*
BY CHARLES HARVEY BOLLMAX.

Thefollowing new species are described from specimens in the museum

of the Indiana University and my own collection. Six of these are
from Bloomin^ton. Indiana, thus making 18 new species \vhich have
been described from that locality. Three others were found in a very
small collection made at Fort Suelling, Minnesota.

The types of the new species are in the museum of the Indiana Uni-
versity and specimens of Scolioplanes ruber and Lithobiiis cardinalis,
, and pall us have been sent to Dr. Anton Stuxberg, of Gothen-

burg, Sweden.

NOTES ON THE SYNONYMY OF THE MYRIAPODA.*
By CHARLES HARVEY BOLLMAN.

1. POLYZONIIN^E.

1841. — Omatopliora Brandt. Kecueil, 49.

1872. — Platydesmiens. Miss. Scieiitif. Mex., Zool.,vi, 199.

1884. — Platydesmia (Sauss. (?) ) Latzel. Myr. Ost. Uugar. Monarch., n, 356.

Placing Siphonophora and its allies in a separate subfamily leaves the
remaining genera as a similar group to which we must give the name
POLYZONIIN^E, because it contains the type of the family Potyzoniidce.

2. SlPHONOPHORIN^E.

18±Q.—Typhloge>ia Brandt. Recueil, 50.
1844. — SiphonophOi'idoe Newport. Trans. Linn. Soc., 278.
1869. — Andrognathida: Cope. Proc. Aruer. Philos. Soc., 182.
1884. — Dolinlenia Latzel. Myr. Ost. Ungar. Monarch., n, 362.

Many writers have seen fit to detach Siphonophora from related
genera, and to make of it a separate family or subfamily. As no char-
acters of importance exist except those drawn from the form of body,
it seems best, therefore, to give it the rank of a subfamily only.

To place Andrognathw Cope in this subfamily makes the number of
segments valueless as a subfamily character.

3. ANDROGNATHUS.

1869. — Andrognathus Cope. Proc. Ainer. Philos. Soc., 182 (corticarius).

1875. — Dolistenus Fauzago. Atti Soc. Ven. Trent. Sci. Nat., 62 (savii).

1884. — Dolichostenua Latzel. Myr. Ost. Ungar. Monarch., n, 68 (emendation).

1884. — Dolystemie Berlese. Acari, Myr. & Scorp. Ital., Fas. xn, No. 2 (emendation).

A careful comparison of Andrognathus and Dolistenus has shown that
the two genera are inseparable, and the latter must stand as a syno-
nym of Andrognathus.

Dr. Berlese has used his emendation of Dolistenus in all his works,
while Dr. Latzel's only occurred in a foot-note, and was intended to
show how Dolistenus should be spelled according to its derivation.

4. POLYZONIUM.

1834. — PolyzoHium Brandt. Oken's Isis, 704 (germanicum).

1836. — Platyulus Gervais. Bull. Soc. Phil. Paris, 71 (audouini=germanicum').

in character, it is believed to contain matter of sufficient importance to warrant

THE MYRIAPODA OF NORTH AMERICA. 137

ISlO.—PetaserpeD Cope. Trans. Amer. Ent. Soc., 65 (rosulbm).
1880.— //!>M(/<8ow« Fauzago. Bull. Soc. Eiit. Ital., 276 (paUidum).
IXXI.—Hexagkna McNeill. Proc. U. S.Nat. Mus., 328 (crijptocepliala^romlbum).

From the above synonymy it can be seen that I have united the
American genera Petaserpes and Hexaylena with the European genus
Polyzonium.

Concerning Petaserpes I wish to call attention to the following sen-
tence in Dr. Cope's diagnosis: "Anuuhe without lateral processes, each
with two pores, forming two rows on each side of the body."

The lirst part implies that each aniiula has two pores, but his next
phrase that each has/owr instead of two.

This obscurity of statement led Mr. McNeill to form his Hemglena,
which has only one row of foramina repugnatoria on each side of the
body, as was no doubt the case in Dr. Cope's specimens.

5. OCTOGLENA.

186*1.— Octoylcna Wood. Proc. Phila. Acad. Nat. Sci., 186 (birirgata).

I have never seen a specimen belonging to this genus, but as it is
somewhat of a stumbling block, I call attention to the following points:

Judging from Dr. Wood's figures and some remarks by Dr. Cope, it
seems to me that Oeioylena is closely related to Polyzonium, but that it
differs in having the first dorsal plate not produced to the base of the
autenme, and the body much narrower than in Polyzonium.

6. PLATYDKSMUS.

1843. — Plalydesmns Lucas. Ann. Soc. Ent. France, 51 (poh/desmoides).
1849. — Pic8todeninu8 Lucas. Rev. et. Mag. Zool., 589 (moreleti).
1864.— ^mc/u/ci/fce Wood. Proc. Phil. Acad. Nat. Sci., 187 (leconfei).

The above nominal genera seem to agree in the shape of body, mark-
ings of segments, and structure of mouth parts, while the number of
ocelli varies. Platydesmus has one, Piestodesmus has two, and Brachy-
cybe has none, but until all these points can be verified it is not safe to
form subgeuera on this character.

7. STKMMIULUS.

1844. — Stemmiiilits Gervais. Ann. Soc. Ent. France, 28 (biociilatus).
1881. — Slcmmijulus Karsch. Neue Jul. Her. Mus., als Prod. Jul. Monograph., n
(emend.).

This genus has been ranked by Dr. Latzel as only a subgenus of
JM/MS, but on account of the peculiar number of ocelli I believe it ought
to be given a full generic rank, at least until more can be ascertained
about the structure of the mouth parts.

The original orthography of Gervais should be employed.

1 wish to call attention here to the subgenera of Julus. I do not

ought to be adopted, because this character is subject to considerable
variation. It will probably be best to retain those established by
Berlese in his "Jididi del Museo <li Firenze," except that the follow-
ing changes must be made: Arcliinhui must give way to a submenus
,/uhin, because this division contains the type ufJulits. The following
orthography should be used: Pachyiiihis, Opliyinlns, Brachyiulus
(Brachyulus), and Typhloiulus, in place of that used in the above
pamphlet.

The name Isolates has always been used by European authors,
because Nemaxoma Koch was said to be preoccupied by one of La-
treille's genera.

I find from Agassiz's Nomenclator that Latreille's genus is spelled
Nemosoma, a word sufficiently different from Nemaxoma.

Although this is a small difference between the two genera, never-
theless Nemaxovm must be used in place of Ixobates.

the following from Dr. Karsch's generic description has led me to be
lieve that it should be recognized as a valid genus:

None of the species of Jiilim ever attain a length of over 100 millime-

This genns is closely related to Acdnthiulit*, but is easily separated
by the following characters : Ocelli in a single series. Antenna1 and
le-s moderately long. Posterior border of first segment carinated,
sides not produced as in A can thin Inn. Other segments, except the last,
with 13 to L'l rows of canine.

First, second, and third segments each with one pair of legs, fourth,
footless. Peters1 orthography Tn(-cJiyji<li<)i ought to be used instead of

I would call attention to the fact that Latzel has considered it as
probably identical with Trachyjulus Peters, and has given preference to
the latter name, although it was given nearly twenty years afterwards.

In this paper I have considered Acanthiulus as distinct from Trachy-
julus. My reasons for this may be found in the following1 characters
which I have culled from Gervais's descriptions and figures of A. Main-
mi Hi.

Ocelli in more than one series; antennae resembling that of Cambala;
first and last segments smooth ; other segments striate beneath and
armed above with eight rows of tubercles, eight on each segment; also
a median dorsal series of indistinct tubercles.

Sides of first segment produced backwards (male?).

I agree with Dr. Latzel in considering the Trichopetalum iulioides
Harger as belonging to the genus Chordeuma; although there is some
probability that it may be the young of some Campodes. Lccriulus Ber-
lese, which was placed by him in the Lysiopetalidce is a member of the

Campodes Koch has always been overlooked by American authors,

the description of several genera that are identical with earlier names
of his. In the above synonomy I have included Paendotremia Cope as
forming a part of Campodes, while Cryptotrichus Packard is also iden-
tical with the latter.

"Ocelli* itii-oitxpii-iiix, IdfcrtilihiiH." In these two statements Newport
seems to contradict himself and to be uncertain about the possession
of an ocellus. Probably Newport has mistaken an accumulation of
pigment for an ocellus, and his observations as to the possession of an
ocellus are erroneous, at any rate. Say did not see a trace of an ocellus
in the same specimens.

The supposition that Newport has made an erroneous observation is
further strengthened by the fact that the possession of an ocellus is
the only difference between Tlirttlopx and Ojii^tltciitci/a. Notwithstand-

NOTES UPON THE SPECIES OF MYRIOPODA SYNGNATHA, DE-
SCRIBED BY THOMAS SAY.*

BY CHARLES H. BOLLMAN.

During the past year, while endeavoring to identify the North Amer-
ican species of inyriapods described by early authors, I have spent con-
siderable time studying those described by Mr. Thomas Say, whose
only work on our species appeared in the Journ. Acad. Nat. Sci. Phila.,
for 1821. As my conclusions in several cases in regard to the identifi-
cation of his species are different from the opinions held by other au-
thors I have deemed it best to embody my views in the form of a paper.

The only types of Say's species that are probably now preserved are
those sent by him to Dr. Leach and deposited by the latter gentleman
in the British Museum. These specimens were afterwards studied by
Newport and Gray, and lately the type of Cryptops posttcus and the
genus Theatops have been reexamined by Mr. R. limes Pocock.

In the following paper I have marked with an asterisk (*) those
species the types of which are now preserved in the collection of the
above museum. Of the seventeen species described by Say all except
one are good, the names of three, on account of preoccupation, have
had to be changed, and six have since been transferred to other genera.

1. Julus impressus Suy. Journ. Acad. Nat. Sci. Phila., 102, 1821.
Parajulus impressus Bollman. Ann. N. Y. Ac. Sc., 34, 1887.

This species, at first considered to be valid, was afterwards identified
by Dr. Wood with his Julus venustus. A comparison of these two spe-
cies shows that they are very different. Besides, venustus is not found
south of Kentucky, while Say's specimens of impressus were from Geor-
gia and Florida, although it ranges north into the region of venustus
(Connersville, Brookville, and Bloomiugtou, Ind.). This species should
now stand as Parajulus impressus (Say).

2. Julus puiictatus Say. Jonrn. Acad. Nat. Sci. Phila., 102, 1821 (preoccupied by

Julus punctatus Leach, 1815).

Julus stic/matosiix Brandt. Recueil, 88, 1841 (preoccupied by Julus sUgmatosiis
Eichwald, Zool. spec., n, 124, 1830 (=Strongyloaoma pallipes Olivier).

*I now regard the old group of Myriopoda as being composed of two utterly dis-
tinct divisions, one including the Pauropoda and Diplopoda, to which I have restricted
the name of Myriapoda, and the other including the Si/nf/nalha as more closely re-
lated to the Hexopoda, and should be united with it in a distinct class.

THE MYRIAPODA. OF NORTH AMEKICA. 145

Say iii naming- this species \v as apparently unacquainted with Dr.
Leach's species and used a name which had already been given to
another.

In 184-1 Brandt attempted to remedy this confusion of names and
accordingly called Say's species Jain* stigmatosus, but even this name,
as shown above, is preoccupied.

In accordance with the rules of nomenclature, this name must be
changed, and as a tribute to Dr. Say, its original describer and our
first American myriopodist, I would call this species Xnntimntin .say«nuni
Bollman, nom. nov.

Say's description of this well-known species seems to apply to the
southern form, a fact which is strengthened, by the locality, "Southern
States ", which he has assigned to his specimens. This is the species
sent to Dr. Leach by Say under the name of Jxlua lt«'t«rinn, which mis-
take has confused the synonymy of Cambala annulntn and C alii pus
lactarium. The name of this species now stands as Cambala annnlata
(Say).

This widely distributed and well-known species was made by Brandt

identical with the C'dUipiin of liisso, the name of our American species
must stand as CaH'ipns l<«-tarii<x (Say).

ments are very densely punctate.

This species on account of its rather imperfect description seems to
have caused considerable trouble in regard to its identification, Euro-
pean writers considering it the same as glauscescens Koch, and closely
allied to complanatus of Europe, in which they have been correct, while
American authors liave referred to it another species — the moniliorix
of Koch. This latter species has the lateral cariiue finely denticulate
and the squamiform divisions much elevated, while in serratus, accord-
ing to Say's description, the lateral cariiue have only 3 or 4 denticula

Although there is sonic doubt as to the exact locality of this species,
nevertheless 1 am strongly inclined to believe that Say's specimens
were from the Southern States, for out of the nineteen species noticed
by Say, only one is mentioned as occurring north of Virginia, south of
which State f orficatus does not extend.

This species should still retain Say's name.

species described by Say. However, a recent examination ot type of
Theatops by Mr. E. Innes Pocock has proven that Newport was wrong-
as to the-specimen having occelli. Taking this into consideration the
synonomy of this species must stand as indicated above and the name
as Theatops posticus (Say).

*16. G-eophilus rubens Say. Journ. Acad. Nat. Sei. Phila., 113, 1821.
Geophilus cephalicus Wood. Journ. Acad. Nat. Sci. Phila., 44, 1862.

On account of the difference of coloration assigned by Say and New-
port to this species, I do not feel sure of my identification. Say says
his specimen is " red" and this would prevent me from identifying
rubens with cephalicus; but Newport, who has examined and described
Say's type, which is in the British Museum, concerning the coloration
says: " Saturate aurantiacus, linea mediana duplici nigra e aegmento cor-
poris primi ad penultimum ducta."

When we take into consideration this peculiar pattern of coloration,
the number of pairs of legs (50), and the length of anal pair (hardly
exceeding the preceding], there is only one known species with which we
can possibly identify the rubens of Say, and that our common and
widely distributed G. cephalicus Wood.

That Say's species is a true Geophilus is indicated by the following
from his description: "segments with tiro longitudinal impressed lines. ,"

If Say had not mentioned this and no types of his species had been
preserved I would hardly hesitate to identity rubeus with the fulva of
Sager or the bothriopus of Wood. As it is I cannot see why we should
not consider rubens and cephalicus identical.

Schendyla? perforates McNeill. Proc. U. S. Nat. Mus., 325, 1887 (Pensacola,
Fla.).

Of the seventeen new species described by Say this one is the most
inaccurately described and the one which has given me the most
trouble in regard to its identification.

Nevertheless when we take into consideration that there are only
three species (latro, bipuncticeps, and foveatus) found in or very near
the region in which Say collected, and compare them with Say's de-
scription of attenuatus, I have found that only one, bipunctinys, agrees
in regard to the shape of body and the length of anal legs.

Although most persons would consider attenuatus unidentifiable, 1
think, at least for the present or until more light can be thrown upon
Say's species, it is best to regard it the same as bipuncticeps.

Besides the above seventeen new species Say has also noticed two
Others — Fontaria virginiemis and Scutigera forccpx,

THE MYRIAPODA OF NORTH AMERICA. 140

The first under the name of •/»/>/ * rirtiiitlenxix is placed as a note
along with Polyd. serratm. Concerning this species Say says:

I have found specimens double the usual si/,e in the Southern States. It seems
also to vary in ouly having the second joint of the feet mucronate, and in hein«r
destitute of the robust ventral spines between the feet.

Although he may have been right in regard to the identification of
his northern specimens, it seems to me as if his southern specimens
belonged to Funtnria c>'«.s.s/c«//.v (Wood).

Scutigera forceps is mentioned after LithobtHs npinipes under the name
of Cermatia coleoptrata. His identification of our species with the Eu-
ropean is wrong, although there is considerable resemblance between
the two.

NOTES UPON THE NORTH AMERICAN MYRIAPODS DESCRIBED BY

C. L. KOCH.
BY CHARLKS H. BOLLMAN.

As Dr. Koch's papers* relating to the North American myriapods
seem to have been overlooked by previous authors, I have thought it
best to bring together in a paper my notes relating to his species.

The second of Dr. Koch's works is merely a more extended account of
the species mentioned in his first work, with plates of each.

Of the fourteen new species described by Koch only five are good,
I desire to express my thanks to Dr. Lucien M. Underwood, of Syr-
acuse, N". Y., for the privilege of examining a copy of Koch's "Die
Myriapoden."

1. Spirostreptus nutans Koch. Syst. Myr., 104, 1847 (North America); Die Myr., i.

14, pi. 7, fig. 14, 1863.

As the descriptions and figures of this species plainly show, it should
be referred to Parajulw canadenxis (Newport).

2. Spirostreptus clavipes Koch. Syst. Myr., 105, 1847 (Pennsylvania) ; Die Myr., n,

103, pi. 115, fig. 226, 1863.

This species, described from a male specimen, is identical with the
preceding. The differences Koch draws between them are sexual.
His figure of the first pair of legs seems to indicate that his specimens
were not full grown.

3. Campodes flavicornis Koch. Syst. Myr., 126, 1847 (Pennsylvania) ; Die Myr., n,

17, pi. 68, fig. 140, 1863.

This species, the type of the genus Campodes, has been well de-
scribed by Koch. It is the same as Spirostrephon ccesioannulatus Wood
and the Pscudotremia vudii of Cope. Campodes Koch ( = Gryptotrichus
Packard).

4. Campodes fuscicornis Koch. Syst. Myr., 127, 1847 (Pennsylvania); Die Myr., u,

16, pi. 68, fig. 139, 1863.

This new species, as Koch has hinted, " VicUcicJit nnr Abort der
rorif/e-H," is only a slight color variety of the preceding, and is not
worthy of specific or subspecific rank.

5. Scytonotus scabricollis Koch. Syst. Myr., 130, 1847 ( I'< 'iinxi/lrnnia .) ; IMeMyr., n,

41, pi. 80, fig. 165, 1863.

* 1847. System der Myriapoden.

1863. Die Myriapoden J, n.
150

THE MYRIAPODA OF NORTH AMERICA. 151

This species, the type of the genus ticytonotus, is identical with the
Polydesmus (/ntiiulfttuN of Say.

6. Scytonotus laevicollis Koch. Syst. Myr., 131, 1847 (Xnrtli America); Die Myr..
ii. 41, pi. 80, fig. 163, 1863.

The only differences Koch makes between this and the preceding
species is in the number of rows of scale-like tnbercules on the first
dorsal plate, one instead of thnr. This character is utterly worthless,
as the scales on the first dorsal plate vary in number and are sometimes
almost obliterated. On account of this variation his la'ricoUi* is the
same as suabricoUis, and hence identical with Say's (

7. Scytonotus iiodulosus Koch. Syst. Myr., 131, 1847 (Pcnii-ti/lriinin ) ; Die Myr.,

n, 43, pi. 80, lit;-. liU. 1863.

This species, which seems to be valid, bears, in its general appearance,
a resemblance to Polydesmus, but the position of the repugnatorial pore
excludes it from that genus. It can not be the Scytonotu* sfti(/cr of
Wood, because the latter species has the squamation more like that of
firanulatHs, and not as in Polydesmus, His figures of the first dorsal
plate do not agree in regard to the position of the anterior row of tuber-
cnles; one shows them along and inside the anterior margin, as no doubt
they are, while the other represents them as placed on the margin and

appearing as sharp and deep serrations.

•

8. Polydesmus §laucescens Koch. Syst. Myr., 133, 1847 (Xortli .Imfrii-a) ; Die Myr.,

i, 59, pi. 26, fig. 51, 1863.

This is identical with the Poly(h'*mux serrafus of Say.

9. Polydesmus pennsylvanicus Koch. Syst. Myr., 133, 1847 i . /'' •mixi/lrtinia);

Die Myr., n, 18, pi. 69, fig. 142, 1863.

Probably identical with sermtH*. It differs in having four scale-like
tubercules in the first row. Koch may have drawn his figure from one
of the ultimate segments, and this will account for the. larger number
of scales. On the ultimate segments of .svrm///.v there is occasionally a
tendency for four scales in the first row.

r<-nHnyh'(tiii<-ti* can not be the same as /'. bt-diincri Bollman, for the
latter has so far only been found in the Tennessee mountains. Several
Italian authors have recorded specimens of pennsylvanicus from northern
Italy, but this is no doubt due to an erroneous identification.

10. Polydesimis moiiiliaris Koch. Syst. Myr., 1 :!.">, 1M7 ( I'<ii>ixi/lrtnii<t ) ; Die Mvr.,

II, 20. pi. 69, lig. 113. 1S63.

A valid species. It is the same as the Polydesmus serratus of Wood.

11. Euryurus maculatus Koch. Syst. .Myr.. i:ix. is 17 i/ I«il>i1<it)\ Die M\i.. i. 7. pi.

3, ti.i;-. N. tst;:;.

According to Peters, who has probably examined the type specimen.
macidntux is the same as Ennjin-nx <'i-i/tl/i'<>/>ii</i;s \ Ilrandt i. In this
view he seems to be correct, for lean find QO difference between the de-
scription of M<«-nl«tnN and specimens of <

152 BULLETIN 46, UNITED STATES NATIONAL MUSEUM.

12. Fontaria virginiensis Koch. Syst. Myr., 141, 1847 (Xorlh America) • Die Myr., i.

71, pi. 32, fig. 62, 1863.

The specimens Koch has referred to the Julus virginiensis of Drury do
not belong to that species, but seem to be very close, if not identical,
with Fontaria bittleriana Bollman from Indiana. His figures represent
a distinct, narrow, yellow baud along the posterior margin of the seg-
ments as in the latter species.

13. Fontaria coriacea Koch. Syst. Myr., 141, 1847 ( Virginia) ; Die Myr., i, 72. pi. 32,

fig. 63, 1863.

A valid species of which Polydesmns corrugatus Wood is a synonym.
His specimens have a yellow band along the posterior margin of the
segments as is the case in the eastern specimens of coriacea.

14. Fontaria oblonga Koch. Syst. Myr., 142, 1847 (Pennsylvania); Die Myr.,i, 73>

pi. 32, fig. 64, 1863.

A valid species belonging to the same group as castama, tennesseensis,
and pitlchra, and perhaps closely allied to the latter, from which it is
separated by the superior position of the repugnatorial pore. Koch's
specimens, as indicated by the color, were probably not full grown.

15. Scolopeudropsis helvola Koch. Syst. Myr., 175, 1847 (Xurtli America) ; Die Myr.,

n, 34, pi. 76, fig. 156, 1863.

Identical with Scolopocryptops sexspinosus (Say). From this and two
other species Koch has redescribed it seems as if he was unaware of
Say's paper on the North American Myriapods.

INDIANA UNIVERSITY, March 15, 1887.

CLASSIFICATION OF THE MYRIAPODA.

BY CHAKLKS II. HOLLMA.N.

In this paper I have given keys for the determination of all groups
above species. When a genus has been so inaccurately described that
it could not be introduced into the key without affecting the natural
order of genera, I have placed it. with its short diagnosis, as a foot-
note.

On account of the great difference between the two principal orders
of the old group of Myriapoda, as has been recently shown by Poeock,
Ivingsley, and several continental writers, I have regarded the old
group as forming two distinct divisions: One. the Syngnatha, as being
more closely related to the Hexapoda, and should be united with it to
from one class j* the other, the .Diplofxnla and Puuroportti t ,as form-
ing another class, to which I have restricted the name of Myriapoda.
1 have regarded the Julifla' and their allies as being the oldest group
on account of the following facts:

(1) That they are the only group of which we have any geological
evidence.

(2) That they have more segments than other groups, thus showing
less specialization (the 3-footed condition of the young is due to the
amount of food-yolk and not to any ancestral form.)

(3) That they have simple trachea-.

The Myriapoda may be divided into the following subclasses:

a. Antenna- simple, not ramose, 5-8 jointed; some or nearly all of the segments with
two pairs of legs; pairs of legs 13 or more ................... DITLOPOPA. — A.

an. Antenna1 ramose, bearing 3 long, jointed appendages; none of the segments with
'2 pairs of legs; pairs of legs, II ............................. MoxoroDA.t — B.

This subclass contains the following two superorders:

(t. Anns situatrd in ultimate segment: maxilla' forming a plate; body not orna-
meiiled with fascieiila- <>f hairs; copula tory feet present .. .(.'IIILOONA in A. — I.

aa. Anus -it uated in the penultimate segment ; maxilla1 subpediform, not forming a
plate; body ornamented with faseicnla- of hairs; eopnlatory feet absent.

\\ — II..

For this class [ propose the name Khimtx-liiln (fri'imc, tntr; \i/.m, Up), on account
of the fact that it is the only group of Arthropoda which has a true Inhimn. The
Syngnatlia and Ilcxapoda are considered as subclassi v.

t I have considered the r<tin-<>/><><1<( as being more closely allied to the Itifiln/milii on
account of the anterior position of the genital opening, the Conn and position of the
copnlatory appendix at base of second pair of legs as in the l'nli/.i-iiiiil,i. and the
general make-np of the body.

I MOM H'oi) A. — I propose this new subclass for the reception of the l'niin>i>i>dn.

VN I'oDociui.A. — I propose this new superorder for the reeepi ion of the I'nliijn iiidir.
1'ocock ranked this family as a snbelas-i, but I think its relations to the < 'liihx/natha
are Too close to admit of so high a rank.

CLASSIFICATION OF THE SYNGNATHA.-

KY CIIAia.KS II. 1!OI. I.MAN.

Ill accordance with the views recently advanced by 1'ocock, Kings-
ley, and several continental writers, 1 have regarded the Syngnatha as
being more closely allied to the Hej'<t/><></<t than to any orders of the
old group of Mi/ri«j>»tl<i. For the class including flu- Kjiiujixithn and
Hexapoda, I propose the name Etyniocliilft, in reference to th<' fact that
they are the only two groups which have a true labiuin. I" have ar-
ranged the following classification according to an ascending series.
My reasons for placing the Lifhobiidw lowest are as follows:

1 (a) According to the investigations of llaase. in LithobiiiH. ILi-nicops,
Crt/i>to})K, and in young specimens of Scolopendra and Dacetnin, the spir-
acles are characterized by a feeble margin, a shortish cone, no closing
apparatus, and by the separate apertures of the trachea-.

(b) That in the Geophilida' and Xcolopcmlr'xUv the tracheal system is
most highly developed.

2. In the distribution of the genera of ANAMOBPHA (IZiewicops, Lith-
ob'nts, and Scut iff era) we see indications of their oldness, while in the
distribution of a large number of genera of EPEMEORPHA we observe that
they are confined to small areas and not cosmopolitan as the others.

Although the Epimorpha may have the highest development of a
tracheal system, nevertheless in many points the <}<'<>/>/ii!i<l<r show in-
dications of a degenerate family.

Class ETYMOCH1LA.
Subclass I.— HVX< IN.Vn I A.

A comparison of the characters of the I^jnu/dr/i/nt and .\itu»n>ri>lt<i of

As numerous attempts have been made to divide this family into
smaller groups, I have given keys for all the subfamilies and genera
known to date.

Family SCOLOPENDBID.E.
1844. — Scolopendridce Newport. Trans. Linn. Soc., 275 and 374.

The Scolopendridse are Chilopoda belonging to the order Epimorpha
and are characterized by having 2L-23 pairs of legs, 17-33-jointed
antenna?, 9, 10, or 19 pairs of spiracles, and the pleurae of anal pair of
legs scutelliform.

They may be divided into the following subfamilies :

a. Pairs of legs 21.

b. Tarsi, except that of anal pair, Inarticulate; pairs of spiracles 19; ocelli absent.

PLUTONIIX.E. — I.

I'nderwood in his synopsis of the species of this genus has regarded
HI illicit i, axjH'ripcK, and NtdcatiiN as valid species, but it seems to me that
they are all identical with lii/nlimis. I have examined a large amount
of material from nine different States and have been able to find only
one species.

A recent examination of the type of ('i-i/i>topn jtoHiico Say, wliich is de-
posited in the British museum, by Mr. I\. limes Poeock,* has proven
that Newport was mistaken as to Say's species having eyes. The
elimination of this character makes 77/m/oy>\ identical with 0/m

ter. notwithstanding the fact that it is based in part upon an erroneous

1844. — Branchiostoma Newport. Trans. Linn. Soc., 411 (liihobioides).
1862.— Blnjsida Wood. Journ. Acad. Nat. Sci. Phila., 40.

Type. — Branchiostoma lith ob in ides Newport.
Etymology: puffoz, corrugated.

As Branchiostoma Newport is preoccupied (Branchiostoma Costa-,
1834, Pisces), Dr. Wood in 1862 proposed the genus Rhysida.

This name has always been disregarded, but, as Newport's name is
preoccupied, we must use Rhysida in its place.

This genus contains the following species :

12. Rhysida celer.

Habitat. — Central America, West Indies; Carolina (Ma-unsure).
Etymology. — Lat., quick.

The locality (Carolina) assigned to this species by Humbert and
Saussure is probably erroneous and no doubt their specimen was from
Mexico or some West Indian island, where, on the same trip, most of
their collecting was done. For a description of this species see " Mein-

^tymology. — Sex, six; spinosus, spiny.

Comparisons of northern jmd southern specimens show, as we pro-
ceed southwards, the following differences:

(1). An increase in size, especially in the anal legs, which are more
slender.
- (2). An increase in size in the femoral spines of anal legs.

(3) A tendency among some of the more southern specimens for the
coxae of the prehensorial legs to become dentate.

(4) A tendency for the lateral margins of anal segment to become
more callous and slightly serrulate.

(5) An increase in the density of the general coloration and an in-
crease in the paleness of the anal legs beneath.

.The following table shows the increase in size of the anal pair of legs :

The increase in length of legs is more noticeable in specimens from
the southeast portion of the United States, while toward the southwest
they tend to be more like the northern.

As all my specimens from Pensacola are small I have compared them
with one of the same size from Georgia.

Some specimens from Winona and Chicago have the interior spine
of anal legs absent.

The specimen from Baltimore has the tibia and tarsi of anal legs
pilose, the hairs being much longer than those of other specimens; the
other legs are rather sparsely pilose.

Those from Indian Springs seem to represent ticolop. yeoryii'm of
Meinert; although the anal legs are longer, the first 4 dorsal plates im-
marginate, and the prosteruum slightly dentate, I believe it should not
be considered as a- good species.

•••

A careful examination of two specimens of se.r*j)i unmix from Cheha-
lis, "VY. T., proves, as Dr. Wood has previously shown, that the western
and eastern specimens should be separated. The main difference lies
in the hirsuteness of the first antennal joints ; the differences mentioned
by Wood are hardly sufficiently distinct to separate the two forms.

A LIST OF THE MYRIAPODA OF MINNESOTA."

~,\' CHARLES ir. BOLLMAX.

The following list of myriapods of tlie State of Minnesota is based
upon the material in my collection, which has been collected at two
points, Fort Snelliug and Winona.

Before I began iny study of the myriapods of Minnesota, only one
species (Linotf cilia chionophihi) was reported from this State. In this
paper I have recorded twenty-five species as occurring within the lim-
its of the State. I wish to express my indebtedness to Messrs. W. D.
and Gr. M. Howe for the material from Fort Suelling. and to Mr. J. M.
Holzinger, of the State Normal, for the material from Winona.

A. — FORT SNELLJNG.

The material from this place was collected during the summers of
18S<> and 1887. On account of the dry seasons the collections were
small; in fact, only nine species were obtained, against twenty-four
from Winona.

probably Poly. wonU'no-ls Koch.

politus MeXeill, but until good material can be obtained it will be best
to let it stand as it is.

B. — WlNONA.

The collections received from this locality were made during 1886 and
1887. As the material was collected at all suitable times in the year,
I have been enabled to present a rather exhaustive list of the myria-
pods of this vicinity.

The greater bulk of the material consisted of specimens of Lith obiu. s-
forficatm.

and intprcHsiiH the same, and mentions a specimen from Georgia. I
regard the specimens from Georgia as the true ////;;>V.VM.V, which is found
in Indiana, Georgia, and Florida, while rrmuitux is found in Colorado,
Kansas, Minnesota, Michigan, Illinois, and Indiana.

2. Parajulus diversifrons (Wood;.
Common.

3. Parajulus ellipticus Hollmau.

This is a very common species, if not even abundant.

4. Lysiopetalum lactarium (Say).
Several specimens were sent in the last collection.

5. Campodes flavicornis Koch.

Not uncommon. Most of specimens sent were very young.
6. Craspedosoma atroliueatum Bollmun.

A single female from here seems to agree in all the principal char-
acters with the types of C. a/ro/inctitiiiiij which are from British
Columbia.

7. Leptodesmus borealis, sji. n<>\.

Anterior parts of segments reticulated with black, posterior border,
lateral carinse, legs and antenna' yellow, an indistinct, broad, black
median, dorsal line. Body robust, narrow, strongly snbterete. Vertex
smooth, stilcus extending to base of antenna-, setigerous fmeohe. An-
teniipe short and filiform. First segment semicircular, sides slightly
margined, posterior border somewhat emarginate. Other segments
more or less corrugate, especially above lateral carina-. Lateral carin;e
small, thick, anterior border not prominent, rounded, posterior scarcely
angulated, but produced posteriorly into thick, short, rounded lobes.
Mucro of last segment large and thick. TJepugnatorial pores moder-
ately large, lateral and subapieal. Legs moderately long, extending
beyond sides of body. Length of body 9 , 12.">. ">"""; width and height,
3inm; length of antenna', L'.4'

l,f'l>t<>(l<'NinnN Itori'iil/x differs from all the species found in Eastern
United States by its thick lateral carina' and the strongly terete body.
It approaches more to L. <nn-« (\Yood) from Oregon.

The above description is based on a female, which was collected near
Winona by Prof. Hol/iuger in the fall of 1S87.

As tliis is the most northern species of the genus that has been
found, I have given it the specific name of boreal IN.

Prof. Holzinger has sent me a male in a tolerably good condition
which I refer to this species. As (i. gracilis Harger is preoccupied,
urbicus Meinert must take its place.

14. Geophilus setiger Bollman.
Geophilus setiger Bollman. Ent. Amer., 82, 1887 (Salem, Ind.).

There is a male in the collection that agrees perfectly well with the
types of this species.

There is one specimen that agrees with those from more southern
localities.

16. Geophilus bipuiicticeps Wood.
Common.

17. Scolopocryptops sexspinosus (Say).

•Common. These specimens differ from all known to me from other
localities in most times having the spine on the inner sides of anal legs
obliterated ; otherwise they are identical.

18. Henicops fulvicornis (Meinert).

I have seen about a dozen specimens, more or less mutilated as to
antenna1 ;md legs, so that very much can not be ascertained with cer-
tainty, but they seem to agree with the published descriptions. This
makes the third locality from which specimens have been reported in
North America.

Androynathus is closely allied to the European genus Dolistenus
Fanzago, but the later genus is separated from Andrognatlms by the
form of the fifth segment and of the repugnatorial pores.

This genus contains the following species :

Andrognathus corticarius.

two transverse rows of non-pilose tubercles. Lateral carino? large,
those of the first ten directed forwards. Anal segment tuberculate,
included between the lateral carinai of penultimate ; anal valves smooth ;
anal scale present. Repuguatorial pore beginning at fifth segment, and
nearer the anterior margin than the others. Legs not extending beyond
sides of body.

Platydesmus, Piestodesmus, and P>racliycybe agree in all points except
as to the possession of ocelli — Piestodesmus has two, Platydesmus one,

THE MYRIAPODA OF NORTH AMERICA. 189

and Brachycybe has none, but until a satisfactory examination can be
made of the eyes, it is not best to rank any even as subgenera.

The so-called vitreous ocellus of Platydexmus seems to me to be noth-
ing' but a slight swelling of the head behind the antenme. This genus
contains the following species :

Segments rosy, with the lateral carime paler; legs, antenna1, and
head principally yellow. Segments 35-55; first row of tubercles near
the anterior margin along the middle of segment, but ending at the
repugnatorial pore; second row arranged along posterior margin of
segment. Lateral carinse rounded or slightly irregular in outline.

Kepugnatorial pore small; swelling small, placed near the mid-
dle and slightly sinuate. Anal segment armed with 4-8 setigerous
tubercles. Male: Anterior pair of legs scarcely larger than the rest;
claws normal. Anterior copulation foot G-jointed, rather abruptly
curved downwards and ending in a small claw; second copulation foot
bent in between the first, 6-jointed, ending in four or five long and stiff
bristles. Length of body, 8-21mni.

Habitat. — Tallulah, Georgia ; Little Rock and Magnet, Arkansas ; Geor-
gia (Wood); Jefferson County, Tennessee (Cope); California (Mur-
ray and Karsch).

1 have been unable to find any differences between P. lecontd and
rosea or valifornicus; especially Karsch's description of the latter, for
Murray's description of rosca is so meager that it is almost impossi-
ble to identify his species with any of the others.

A careful study of the male copulation loot of the Eastern and West-
ern forms may reveal some differences.

U. S. NATIONAL MUSEUM.

BY CHAKLES H. BOLLMAN.

The following notes are a continuation of the paper which appeared
in the Proceedings of the Museum for 1888 (pp. 343-350). In this part
is given an account of the foreign material in the same collection.

The following is a key to the seven species of Spirobolm mentioned
in this paper :

lated. Legs short, not quite extending beyond sides of body. Seg-
ments 54-59. Length r>0-r>r>'"»' ; width, 4-4.3""".

This species is described from two specimens which I found amongst
a large number of S. surmamensis Avithout any locality; but as there
was another vial of Nnrin(iiin'itn!s labelled " Surinam- " I am inclined to
believe that this species is from the same locality. >s'. tmfa?amt& Karsch,
the only other American species having the repugnatorial pore on the
posterior half of segment, has 3+3 or 4+4 elypcal foveolae.

2. Spirobolus callipus, sp. nov.

Diagnosis. — Belated to Spirobolus brevicollis Voges, but the clypeal
foveolae 3 + 3 or 4+3; segments 43-47; $ coxae of 3, 4, 5, G pairs of legs
produced; tarsae without a polster.

terior part more oblique, forming an obtuse rounded angle in connection
with those on posterior part. Sides of first segment subacute, no stria-
except marginal; anterior border subexcised. Repugnatorial pore
.small, touching sulcus, which is bent forwards; behind pore on pos-
terior part a deep sulcus. Anal segment subacute, not extending be-
yond anal valves; anal valves moderately margined, punctate; anal

round truncate tubercles, outer part with its end curved outwards, not
tnberculate; posterior foot hook like, pointed, its anterior surface
tuberculate. Length, 58"""; width, «i.5""".

192 BULLETIN 46, UNITED STATES NATIONAL MUSEUM.

Spirobolus callipus is described from two specimens, male and female.
This species, although agreeing with the Mazatlan species iu many
particular points, possesses a copulation foot which is very different.

3. Spirobolus bahameiisis, sp. nov.

Diagnosis. — Eelated to Spirobolus multiform Karsch, but larger and
more robust; segments 48; above blackish, beneath yellow.

Habitat. — San Salvador, Bahamas; U. S. Fish Commission.

Type. — Male, TJ. S. Nat. Museum.

Description. — Male. Above shining black-brown, slightly greenish
anteriorly; beneath yellowish, the yellow extending up along posterior
border of segments, the black along anterior; vertex greenish ; anten-
me dark, legs paler. Robust, anterior segments attenuated. Vertex
smooth, sulcus subcontinuous with clypeal; clypeus not deeply exised,
foveoke 5+5. Antenna} subclavate, reaching second segment. Ocelli
48, in 7 series, patch subtri angular. Segments visibly divided below
repugnatorial pores, above which the dividing line fades out; smooth,
sparsely and lightly punctate; obliquely striate beneath. Sides of first
segment narrowed, subacute, a marginal sulcus. Repugnatorial pore
moderate, opening on anterior part, touching sulcus, which is bent.
Anal segment slightly pointed, not passing valves; anal valves mar-
gined, punctate; anal scale rounded, transverse. Legs moderate,
scarcely extending beyond sides of body. Segments 48.

Male: Coxie of third and fourth pairs of legs slightly produced, the lat-
ter longer and more pointed; coxre of fifth pair much longer, flattened
and curved over the coxa3 of sixth pair which are shorter and blunt;
cox« of seventh pair produced into large and heavy lobes ; tarsi of legs
without a pad; sixth and seventh segments swollen beneath. Length,
70mm ; width, 8.5mm.

Described from an adult male. In the pattern of coloration this
species shows a great variation from the others of the genus. No
doubt when it is compared carefully with specimens of multiform not
much resemblance will be found between the two.

3. Spirobolus suriiiameiisis, sp. nov.

Diagnosis. — Related to Spirobolus dominiccePocock.. Segments with-
out a transverse sulcus, their surface with numerous horseshoe-like
depressions.

Type. — Male and female, U. S. Nat. Museum.

Habitat. — Paramaribo, Surinam.

Description. — Eeddish "brown, antenna?, legs and posterior border of
segments brighter. Moderately slender, anterior segments slightly
attenuated; vertex rough, sulcus short, ending in a slight depression;
clypeus rather deeply excised, sulcus deep, foveohe 2+2, distant. An-
tennae short and thick, reaching past first segment. Ocelli ;>5-45, in
6 or 7 series; patch subtriangular. Segments not distinctly divided,

a depression occupying' sulcus; rough, anterior part closely obliquely

stria te beneath, above, especially on aiiterior part, and along1 the de-
pression, numerous horseshoe-like depressions. Repugnatorial pore
large, placed on anterior part, a dee]) suleus behind. Anal segment
slightly angulated, not passing valves; anal valves scarcely margined,
sparsely punctate; anal scale almost transverse. Legs extending
slightly beyond sides of body. Segments, female, 51-53 j male, 51.

Male: Less robust than female ; eox;e of second pair of legs large, coxae
of other legs not produced; femur with a slightly swollen ovate knob: last
tarsal joint with an elongate sucker; sixth and seventh segments swol-
len beneath; ventral plate of copulation foot convex, one-half as high
as foot, apex bind; anterior copulation foot short and heavy, outer
part plain, curling' around inner, end slightly pointed, inner part heavy.
its inner margin slightly concave, a small wing on its anterior surface;
posterior copulation foot somewhat hook-like, its end rounded and
slightly bifid; on the inner side are three lobes; the first is large and
moderately flat, with its entire surface granulated ; the second is spine-
like and arises just above the first; it is twisted, tapering, with its outer
surface very rough; it ends near the beginning- of third, which is flat
and bent basal wards, its end concave. Length, 40-50min; width, 4-5""".

This species seems to bear little resemblance to any other from Amer-
ica. It probably comes nearest to 8. flow linen; as shown by the form of
the posterior copulation foot, but the rest of the copulatory organ is
entirely different.

In the collection is one specimen labelled u Surinam,'' and a very large
number in another vial without any locality, but which 1 suppose are
from the same place.

Male: Coxa- of none of the legs noticeably produced or any other mark-
ings of note about the legs. Ventral plate of copulation foot higher than
anterior part of first foot, but not so high as posterior part; its end
rather suddenly pointed, slightly truncate. Anterior or inner part of
anterior copulation foot pointed; end of posterior part rather blunt and
swollen. Posterior foot long and slender, curved outwards and back
wards, theonlypart of copula! ion foot projecting out of opening; bifid, the

sinuate, its lower angle \\ ith a short, slemlerspine: lowerbranch lanceo-
late, not as long as upper, depressed, sides very thin and transparent.
edges entire or very slightly sinuate. Ventral part of the anterior half of
seventh segment produced into a blunt, triangular lobe.

In the collection are a number of specimens which were obtained by
the I'. S. Fish Commission at St. Thomas.

Two specimens (male and female) were found in a vial containing tipi-
robolus surinamensis, which were identical with a specimen in another
vial from Paramaribo, Surinam. As these specimens are from the same
region where the types of coarctatus were from, I have not hesitated to
identify them with that species; in fact, if I had no males the locality
would be the principal means of identifying, as it is impossible to sepa-
rate gracllis, coarctatus^ and dasyx by any other point than that of the
male genitalia. My identifying these specimens with coarctatus and con-
sidering mcarim and poeyi identical, as shown by the copulation foot of
the males, has led me to study the different species belonging to this
group. Herebefore coarctatns has been considered identical with Fon-
taria gracilis Koch, from Pulolos, Austria; but as proven by Latzel's
figure* of the copulation foot of Austrian specimens, this can not be.
Coarctatus and gracilis have also been considered identical with a
certain species from Borneo, Timor, Alinda and Viti-Levu, and a few
other East Indian localities; but even these specimens as shown by
Karsch's figure t of the male copulation foot, although more allied to
(/racilis than coarctatus, are not identical and represent an uudescribed
species (0. Karschi, sp. nov.). On account of these changes and dif-
ferences the species of Orthomorpha should stand as follows:

1. Orthomorpha coarctata (Saussure) (—ri<'arliis\=poeyl). Habitat : West In-

dies, Surinam, Brazil, and Africa.

2. Orthomorpha beaumonti (Le Guillou) (^F.spectabilis Karsch). Habitat:

Borneo and Java.

3. Orthomorpha pekinensis (Karsch). Habitat: Peking, China.

4. Orthomorpha flavolimbata (Guldeusteedeu and Egrling). Habitat: Japan.

*Die Myr. Ost.-Ungar. Monarch., Taf. vi, fig. 70.

tTroschel's Archiv f. Naturgesch., Taf. in, tig. 7, l*si.

\P.vicarius Karsch may not be identical with coai'dalns, as his ligurc of the male
genitalia only shows two points, while in coari'latit* there are three; but as they are
small, it is very probable he did not observe the third.

6. Orthomorpha gracilis ( Kodi). Habitat: Austria (only found in a few hothouses,

The two American species should now stand thus:

1. Polylepis klugii (Brandt).

2. Polylepis abstrusus (Karsch).

Ace. 17139, Puebla, Mexico; male and female.

These specimens agree in all points with Saussure's description of
fraternuB.

P. (tufirhiN may be different (1. 50mm), but its copulation foot is iden-
tical with that of the specimens before me, which are the same size of
fraternw.

13. Fontaria otomita (Sanssnre).

Copulation foot of male subsiinilar to that of fratenm. Apex bifid;
angle between them greater than a right; the upper lobe smallest and
pointed; the lower recurved, broader, subtruncate, and is the branch
through which the spermatozoa are conveyed; not far below the apex
on the interior side is a small triangular spine. l>asal spine rather
short, cylindrical, its apex curved upwards, separated from rest of foot
by a wide angle. Basal part of foot with short, almost spine-like hairs;
a te\v at the upper interior angle much longer.

One specimen. It only differs from pacliypua in size; length, 85mm.
All the known pachypus are not more than 65"'m long.

18. Scolopendra nicaraguensis, sp. nov.

Diagnosis. — Related to Scolopendra heros Girard but the anal pair of
legs thicker and shorter; first 15 dorsal plates immargiuate; last anal
plate shorter and wider.

a longitudinal median depression; no sulci. Antemue rather short,
articles 21-24, the first four not hirsute. Prosterual teeth 4 4- 4, rather
large, inner coalesced; coxal tooth large, unarmed. The first 15 dorsal
plates immarginate; sulci deep; posterior borders not wrinkled. Sulci
of ventral plates well marked; last ventral plate short and wide, sides
converging, posterior margin truncate. Second tarsal joints of all the
legs except anal armed. Anal pair of legs short and thick ; spines large,
5-0 in two rows on the superior interior surface, 2 or 3 each on the inner
and inferior interior surfaces, beneath 6-10 in two rows; apical process
slender, bifid. Posterior margin of anal pleurae slightly convex, apex
with 3 or 4 spines, also 1 marginal. Length, 90""".

The collection contains three specimens of this species, of which one
is in a good condition. It is distinguished from pachypux by having the
anal legs less crassate; from per nix by having the spines of anal legs
less numerous.

19. Scolopendra hirsutipes, sp. nny.

series; apical process trifid; tibia1 and tarsi pilose, the latter more
densely; tarsi of penultimate pair also pilose; anal pleura- with its pos-
terior margin concave, pilose; apex rather short, with 4 spines: a mar-
ginal spine. Length, 100""".

One specimen without any locality, but as all others unlabeled in the
collection seem to be from Surinam, I suppose this specimen is from
the same place.

20. Scolopendra sanatillae, sp. nov.

NOTES ON A SMALL COLLECTION OF MYRIAPODS FROM THE

BERMUDA ISLANDS.

BY CHARLES H. BOLLMAN.

The following species, which were collected by Prof. Heilprin in
the summer of 1888, although limited in number, show the diverse
origin of the Myriapod fauna of the Bermuda Islands. Heretofore
Julus moreletihas only been found in the Azores Islands; Mecistoce-
phalus guildingii in the West Indies; Litholius lapidicola in Europe,
and tipiroboltts hcilprini, by having scobina, shows its West Indian and
not African origin, for all found in the latter continent belong to the
subgenns ^irobolus from which scobina are absent.

These four species, including a specimen of Scolopendra subspinipes
which I have in my collection, are all that as yet have been reported
from the Bermuda Islands.

I desire to express my thanks to Prof. Angelo Heilprin, of the Acad-
emy of National Sciences of Philadelphia, for the privilege of examining
this collection of Myriapods.

1. Spirobohis Heilpriiii, sp. uov.

•'J)iay. — Related to Spirobolus flavocinctus Karsch, but the segments
very distinctly segmented, anterior part not striate; antennae and legs
reddish brown.

smooth, sulcus shallow: clypeus only moderately emarginate, foveolre
li+2, distant, sulcus sub-continuous with vertical. Antennae rather
slender, reaching second segment in both sexes. Ocelli arranged in a
suboval or subtriangular patch, 45-55, in seven or eight series. Seg-
ments not smooth; posterior parts above with short and wavy, beneath
with short and straight striae; median part with a transverse sulcus
which ends above repugnatorial pore; posteriorly above with a lew
striae, beneath almost smooth or with a lew weak oblique striae. Lateral
lobes of first segment rounded, a weak marginal sulcus. Anal segment
with a flat, thick mucro, which passes beyond valves; anal valves
weakly margined, not punctate; anal scale obtusely angled, llepugna-
torial pores placed on anterior division, small and rather deep set. Legs
extending slightly beyond sides of body. Male: Slenderer than female;
coxai of 3d, 4th, 5th, pairs of legs produced into short lobes; tibia and
lirst two tarsal joints beneath with an oval roughened lobe; joints of
anterior legs short and thick, third and fourth pairs of legs strongest;
tarsi without a pad; ventral plate of copulation-foot triangular as high as
foot, its base not concave, its posterior surface ridged, thus making the
plate of a triangular-pyramidal form; anterior part of first foot not as
high as ventral plate, triangularly pointed, the ventral plate ridge
separating them; posterior part of ^interior foot as high as ventral
plate, its apex with a short blunt lobe on its posterior surface; posterior
copulation-foot bind, projecting out of the opening, the upper branches
flattened and fan shaped at its end, which is convex; lower branch
elongate-lanceolate, its upper edge serrate, basal part of foot rectang-
ular and white, while the upper part is yellowish. Segments male, 4<i;
female, 44. Length 52 """, width 3. 8 """-4. 2 '""'.

This species is described from six broken and badly preserved speci-
mens. In the type of copulation-foot it resembles that of arboreus and
f/f^/f.s/, and it is very probable that all the species belonging to this
group have the same type, i. e., the ventral plate triangular and as high
as posterior part of anterior part, while the anterior part is less, the
posterior foot bind and projecting out of the opening.

1 have named this species after Prof. Angelo Ileilprin, of the Acad-
emy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia.

2. Juhis Moreleti Luriis.

In the collection are a number of female specimens which 1 refer to
this species. It has only been found in the A/ores Islands.

These specimens have the stria- of the anterior division of the seg
nients not so irregular as represented in PoratlTs figure of this spe-
cies.*

Segments 42-40. Adult almost black, legs reddish brown; young
dusky, with a lateral row of black spots and a medium black dorsal
line, bordered with yellowish.

3. Mecistocephalus guildingii Newport.

Three specimens. These are so moulded and broken that it is almost
impossible to make much out; but in the characters of the head, they
seem to be identical with the West Indian species.

4. Lithobius lapidicola Meiriert.

Two specimens, male and female. Joints of antenna? 26; ocelli 8 or 9,
in three series; coxal pores male 2, 3, 3, 2, female 3, 4, 4, 3; spines of
first pair of legs, 0, 1, 1; of penultimate pair, 1, 3, 3, 1; of anal pair, 1,
3, 2, 0; spines of female genitalia stout, claw very distinctly tripartite,
middle lobe not much longer; length male 7 imn; female 8""".

It is very probable that these specimens are not identical with L. lapi-
dicola, a European species; but as they are rather mutilated I have hesi-
tated to describe them as new.
