This work (liullctiu No. 40) is one of a scries of i)iii)ers intended to
illustrate the collections belongin<^ to the United States, and consT;i-
tuting the National Museum, of which the Smithsonism Institution
was placed ia charge by the act of Congress of August 10, 1S40.
The publications of the Xationai Museum consists of two series — the
Bulletin, of which this is No. 40, in continuous scries, and the Proceed-
ings, of which the sixteenth volume is now in jners. A small e«litioii
of each i)aper in the Proceedings is distributed in pam]»hlct form to
specialists iu advance of the i)ublicati<Mi of the bound volume.
The Bulletin of the National Museum, the publication of whic i was
commenced in 1.S75, consists of elaborate papers based upon the col-
lections of the Museum, reports of ex'iteditions, etc., while the Proceed-
ings facilitate the prompt publication of freshly-acquired facts relating
to biology, anthropoh)gy, and geology, descrii)tions of restricted ;;roups
of animals and plants, the discussion of particular (juestions relative
to the synonymy of species, and the diaries of minor expeditions.
Other papers, of more general popular interest, are printed in the
Ai>i)endix to the Annual Report.
Full lists of the ])uldications of the Museum may be found in the
current catalogues of the publications of the Smithsonian Institution.
Papers intended for i)ublication iu the Proceedings and Bulletin of
the National Museum are referred to the Committee on Publications,
comi)osed as follows: T. H. Bean (chairman), A. Howard Clark, E. E.
Earll, Otis T. Mason, Leouhard Stejneger, Frederick W. True, and

death is so re^irettcd. Mr. <). \\ Cook, of Syranise, N. V., who has
greatly iuteiested himself in the subjeet of the .Myriapods, has aidt'd in

It is tittin;;' that the .Museum should i)ublisli this series of papers,
because Mr. liollman based much of his work upon Museum material
and was generous enoujili to deposit all his tyjtes in the Musciun, so

At the time of his death Charles Ilarvey Bollman was not yet 21

was educated at the Cniversity of Indiana at l»loomin;iton; j^raduated
at this institution in the i-lassof 1889; was appointed, immediately after
j»Taduatiou, as an assistant in the Fish (Jonnuission, and die<l at Way
('ross, (la., July 1.3, ISSIJ. He was an exceptionally bright student in
collejic; President David S. .Jordan considered him, as a naturalist, one
of the most brilliant an»l promisinjif he had ever known, and certainly
his jmblislied pai)ers exhibit the ability and care of a well-trained man
It can never cease to be a matter of ref,^ret that he did not live to carry
out one of his clii<'f ambitions, as expressed in correspondence, to mono-
graph the Myriapoda of the United States.

A REVIEW OF THE LITERATURE OF THE NORTH AMERICAN
MYRIAPODA.
IIY l>IC. I.. M. «\I)KU\V<K»I».
Tlio Myrinpodsi of the rnitctl Stag's were first stiulit'd by Tlioinaa
Sjiy ill 1S21. Ill a jiaprr puhlisluMl in tin- .I<mriial of tlu; I'liiladclpUia
Acadfiiiy of Scieiici's* he (U's<'iil»o(l cijjlitt'en siu'<i«'.s, mostly from the
S<»utherii States, wliich he urranp'd in tha '^vnor.i ffulus, Pnlifilrtoniis,
l'ol}/.icims^ Cennatia, LHImhiiiM, (hfiptops^ and (hitfthihis. Scatterini^
spciies had already been (h'scribed l)y the earlier Kuropeau naturalists,
and even in America one species had been described in ISi'O by Kalin-
es(pie under the name of Selista forceps. Yet Say's work will stand as
the first of hnportance, reco{,Miizinj;, as it «h)es, a c<msiderable number
ot si)ecies.
After Say's time no species were added to our fauna for twenty years,
when lirandt (1841) published from St. retersburj; his Kecueil, consist-
inj»: of a re])riiit of a series of papers relating to the Myriapods which
he had issued since 1831). Four species from our territory are here
des«iil)ed. After Brandt came Newport, who i)ul)lished in 1844 a
monograjih of the Chilopoda, in wliich live species were added to our
fauna and the genera T/icatops 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 c<uisiderable num-
ber of American species were described. The same year ai)peared
volume IV of "Apteres," by Baron Walckenaer and I'aul (Jervais, iu
which the latter describes tw(j new species from the riiited States and
includes descriptions of the species of Say, Brandt, and Newport, iu
all amounting to twenty-six species.
During this period two other papers appeared. In 1853 Charles
Girard ]>ublished iu an appendix to the Eeport of Marcy's Exploring
Expedition a description of Scolopindm hcros^the large "centipede" of
the Southwest, with plate, together with two species of Juliiii supposed
to be new. Three years later Sager published brief and indetinite de-
scriptions of three new species, giving neither distinguishing characters
to his species nor the localities from which he obtained his specimens.
The lirst four decades since Say's first publication thus found us with
a known Myriapod fauna of about thirty nominal species.
*An alphabetic list of the literature relating to the Aiiieriean species is appended
to this lutrodiii'tiou.

In 18r»0 an extonsivo monofjraph of the Mexican ^Iyriapo<la was pub-
lished from Geneva by Henri <le Saussuie, in which were described a
few species from th<> I7iiited States and other jmrtions of America.
This was soon followed (1803) by Koch's elaborate work, "Die Myria-
poden," in which he described and ii^aired fifteen species from the
United Stfites.
Dr. H. C. Wood pnblished a series of papers from 18(51 to 18G7 which to
this time are the most extensive series pnblished by a sin<ile individual,
and which have formed the basis of subsequent study. His pai)er8 in-
clude a })reliminarv i):ip('r on Seoloprndra (18(11), followed by a general
cataloj^ne of the Chiiopoda of America (18()3); in 18(J4 app<'ared three
papers on the vari<>us families of the Diplopoda, and the next year his
"Myriapoda of Xorth America," in whi(;h 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 TAt hob ins by Ludwig Koch appeared in 1802, containing
two species from the United States.
During the years from 1809 to 187U E. D. Cope published, in three
papers, descriptions of several (;ave myriai)ods, including the new
genera Fseu^otrcmia, Anclrofpuifhus, Pctftserpcs, and Scolerpen. Hum-
bert and Saussure published "Myriapoda Xova Americana" in 1869,
which contains only Mexican species, many of which are likely, how-
ever, to appear on our Arizonian borders when the Myriapod life of that
region shall be studied. In 1870 Dr. Packard noted tin; discovery of
Pauropus 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 Mus.Ti Hauniensis,"
I, II. In 1872 Oscar Harger descTibed a number of species with the new
genus Trk'hopetahtm.
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 Pohfdesmus cavi-
cola^ a cave-inhabiting species from T'tah.
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 Lithohius collected by him were
described by Dr. Stuxberg in 1875, amounting to seven species. Two
*A8 Dr. Wood nowhere mentions the -^vork of either Panssnre or Koch it is more
than probable that they were unknown to him. This is still more evident from the
synonyms which have resulted.

otlior papors, "G«Mieiii <'t species Tiitliobioidanim'' and " Lithohioidsr
Anu'iicii' Iloiealis,*' were i)ubIisluHl by the same author t'roiu Stockholm
the same year. These jiapers are vahiable from their full synonoiuy
and notes on distribution. A translation of tlie latter pjiper was pub-
lished in vol. VII of the Proeeedinjjs of the California Academy of
Sciences. In 1S77 IlrnchyvyUe rosea, from (.'aliforn'a, was described by
Andrew Murray in his volume oil ''Economic Entomolofry." The
disi'overy of a se«*ond sj>e<ies of Pauropoda in America was announ<'ed
in 1S7S, by Dr. John A. liyder, and in ISTO a third, forminu tlie new
jicnus KuryimuropuH: the same author also published (ISSl) a list of
the Lysi<>pefnU(l(F, addinj; a new jjenus and species, Zyyon<>pun whitei.
In ISSO Dr. Karsch, of Berlin, published three papers on the various
families of I)ii»lop« ■ .. in \^hich six new spe<'ies from the United States
are described. Kohlrausch, in ISHl, i)ublished his '"(rattunjicn und
Arten der Scolopendrideii," in which all the known species of this fam-
ily are <lescribe<l. Two Anierican species of Scolopetulra were described,
which had been briefly characterized in a preliminary paper published
in 187S.
Three papers were i)ublished by Dr. Packard in 18.S3; the first was
a description of I*oly<ksmu» occJIntuH (afterwards referred to Craspedo-
soma hy Stuxberji); the second was a revision of the Lysiopetalida',
ffiving; a summary of the known information to date and describing
the new jjenus CryptotrUhus; the third was a mori)holofiical paper on
the appendages and mouth i)arts of the Myriapotla.
In 18S4 Dr. Latzel ])nblished a valuable monograph of the Myriapoda
of Austro-IIungary in which a few notes are given on the American
species of the so-called Lysiopetalida*, most of which he referred to the
Chordeumidie; 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 Coi)enhagen, published in 1.S.S4 an account of
the Chilopoda of the Museum of Comparative Zoology, describing
fifteen new species from the United States; and the year following
appeared the third part of his "Myria])oda Musa'i Ilauniensis," in
which two species of Liihohius were added to our fauna.
In J^ovember, 1885, L. M. Underwood published a review of the
principal literature on the American si)ecies, with synoptic tables of
genca 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 <;eograi»hic distribution of the species as described Tip to that time is pecu-
liar. The State having the hirgest number was California, with 27; then followed
Pennsylvania, 25; Hlinois, 16; CJeorgia, 13; Oregon, 12; Virginia, 10; Texas, «;
New York, 7; and Florida, 7; all others falling below 5; 15 had no described
sjieeies. The report of Indiana with onlj' two species may have incited Mr. BoU-
mau to his study of local forms, which commenced soon after.

by tho samo author jjavo synopses of tlio S{'oloi)eiidii(la' ol" our refjion
hasod larjjely on tlie «'olloctions of the U. S. National Museum. Mr.
.leionie M«Neill published (1887) two pa])ers in the tenth vohinie of the
Proceedinjjfs of the V. S. National Museum; in these eijjhteeu new s])e-
(!ies were described. A third paper jmblished in LSSS adch'd another
species, Pohfdfstmis butlcri, to the Indiana fauna. This brinj^s the
summary of literature to tlu' time when Mr. Ilollman first eonimeneed
his ])ublieations. It will be seen that the work on the myriapoda of
the United States consists larj^ely of fraj;inentary papers scattered
amon^ the scientific periodical literature of several lan<»na<ies. Only
one work — that of Dr. IT. C. Wood — made any atttimpts at complete-
ness, and that had been i)ubli.she(l almost a quarter of a century. The
time was rii)e for sonu' 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 couhl be found. Into this work
Mr. Bollman entered with enthusiasm, and his activity is shown in the
numerous papers that in vso 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 New York Academi/, one in the
A7nerican Nafurnlist, and four in Entomohujiva Amerieana. 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 aLd 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 brietly consi«lered. 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 Ileport on the insects of New York, Fitch describes the
ravages of Folydesmits comphmatits j in cabbagt, causing the so-called
"club foot." Walsh, in the Practical Entomolof/ist for 180(5, describes
Jidus multistriatus, which he afterwards identified as J. cerulcoeinctus
Wood,| as causing injury to strawberry roots. In the American Ento-
molof/ixt for 1809, he mentions two forms, a Jnlus and a Polydesmm^ as
burrowing in strawberries. In the Eleventh Illinois Report (Thomas)
"Adding to these the species described iu the Proceedin<j;s of the U. S. National
Museum iind the extent of Mr. Bolhiian's work on the Myriapoda is apparent; the
totals will then he 3 genera and O;} species.

1 have a single pair of this species, collected by Prof. Ceorge F. At-

ably belongs to this species. This species dvd'ers 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. It
may be worthy of remark that at present 1 consider the Jiilns 2>flosi8-

This si)ecies (litters most strikingly from P. fnrcifer by having the
last segment produced considerably beyond anal valves, and also by
the idain color. In P.fnrvifer the last segnn'ut does not pass beyond
the anal valves, and the yellow lines and spots, which are absent in
zoitntUH and generally present in other species, are very bright; in fact,
much more than in any other species.
The male genitalia, of which I have said nothing, dift'er very remark-
ably from that of P.furciferov P. oref/oniitftiit.
I have examined two males of this species. They were collected by
Mr. (Jeorge (Jregg, of Chehalis, Wash. Terr.
3. Craspedosoma atroliueatum, sp. iiov
DiagnoHiH. — Light brown, lateral carina* and a median dorsal line
dark. Male: Femur of fourth ])air of legs produced at the middle into
a knob-like process armed with a few rather large tubercles; fenuir of
ninth pair with a cylindrical, tapering basal lobe, which is slightly tu-
berculate.

This n»nv spe<ue8 is more related to the cave form ('raxpetloxomn
bolhnani, the male of which has the same peculiar knobs, but the
tuberculation isdittcrent. From llar«:er's description of (J. filomrtutinu
this species seems to ditt'er in havinj; a dark median dorsal line, besides
bein^ of a h.rj^er size.
1 have examined over a dozen specimens collected by Mr. Carl II.
Eigenmann.
4. Paradesmus dasys, sp. uov.
Diatfnosix. — V<'ry similar to Pnratlef<mi(H flt'deilix (Ko«'h|, but the tibia
and tarsi of male tuberculate beneath; vertex pilose on each side of
sulcus, first and p«Miultimate sejjments with two rows of seta-, rest with
one; copulation foot resembling that of ururilitt.
Type. — U. 8. Nat. Museum.
Habitat. — Baltimore, M<1.
This species is very closely related to I'ttvadrsmm (jravUis, as shown
by the character of male genitalia, but is at on(!e recoguizid by the
characters given in the diagnosis. The following ditlerencjs were also
observed, which, except the characters of male genitalia, are not <»f
much importance:
Dorsal plates somewhat wrinkled; repugnatorial pore (as compared
with Saussure's tigure of P. voarctatnx= J*, f/racilifi) not i)laced so far
back nor the lateral carina* so swollen; the end of the sheath inclosing
the tlagellum finely serrate as well as its branch ; the other U)be widely
three or four toothed; length of body, S lo.o to 20""", 9 17 to 22.5""".
I have examined three males and a number of females collected by
Mr. Charles L. Edwards, of Johns Hopkins University.
5. Polydesmus testi, sp. nov.
J)ia(/no8is. — Tuberculation as in P. fmniiliaris Koch,* but the lateral
carinse not finely serrated; tubercles setse-tipped; male genitalia very
similar to Polydesmus iticonsfans Latzel.t

As the characters of /*. xenafus vary exceedin;:fly in respect to size

enough to distinguish /'. hruuueri from the various forms of /*. Hcrratus.
Th«' most important ditferences by which /'. hnitnteri is separated from
P. nerratuH are those of th*^ male genitalia; but as it is almost impossi-
ble to give a good definition of these characters, I have thought it best
to say uothiug uow, but wait until 1 can have good figures made.
Concerning the male g(*nitalia of /*. serratitSy 1 may say that in all
the specimens I have examined from Minnesota, Illinois, Indiana,
Pennsylvania, and North (hirolina, 1 find that the characters are essen-
tially similar, the only important variation being in the number of idate-
like spines. I have thought that 1\ branneri may be identical with

I have seen a male and a female which were collej'ted by Mr. Cliarles
B. I>ianiier. The female has a browner patt«Mii of coloration and the
red is not so vivid as in the male.
8. Fontaria nibromaigiuata. sp. nov.
hiagnoxis. — ^'ery similar to Fouinrin t rides, bnt the first three seg-
ments of male attennated; vertex, salens deeper; fennir more swollen;
anterior border of first and ])osteri(n- of other segments red.
Tt/jH. — U. S. Nat. ^Insenni.

This speties is closely related to the jireceding. It differs, however,
mnch in color and in the character of male genitalia. As <'ompared
with the male of F. < riths. the following points may be w<irthy of note:
Browner, legs yellow; lateral plates not so sharji; legs of male more
crassate; distal fourth of genitalia very mnch expanded near the end;
basal sjMne stout, bifid; two lateral lobes, the first tritid, the other
bifid; length of body, 38"""; height, 5"""; width of segment, (5.3""";
width of tenth, 10"""; antenna-, 8.3""".
The characters of ventral jilates and coxa* are the same as in F.eridcs.
These notes are based upon a male collected by Prof, (Jeorge T. At-
kinson, which only has the right leg changed into a coiiulatory organ.
9. Fontaria montaua. sp. nov.
Didf/iiosis. — Similar to Foniaria frimnculata (Wood) but larger, espe-
cially the breadth; dorsal plates less convex, lateral carina' larger and
more proihued; legs of male less crassate, shining black, yellow spot^
veiy distinct, legs light brown.
Type. — V. S. Nat. Museum.
Habitat.— WoW Cvet^k, Cooke County, Teun.
This species is very closely related to F. trimaculata, as is shown by
the coloration and genitalia, but the latter aie more strongly coiled and
with the basal spine larger. Comparing the males of the two species,
it may be said that in 1\ montaua the different parts are larger, but
more slender.
1 have examined a male collected by Mr. Charles B. Branner. This
species is the southern representative of I\ frimacidata, but it is not
probable that they will merge into one as the characters of the male
genitalia are too nnich unlike.

This .species may be easily separated from those which have the
"frontal plate ab.sent and anal pores present" by the characters assigned
in the diagnosis.
The following is a com])l('te description of type:
Keddish orange, head darkest, rather robust, widest before, moder-
ately smooth, sparsely pilose. Prehensorial legs reaching to base of
second autennal Joint: coxa longer than wide (4.5:3), unarmed; tooth
small. Cephalic plate sparsely pilose and punctatCvthe latter forming
two sulcations, h)nger than wide (7:5); basal plate partly concealed,
thrice as wide as long; prebasal not exposed. Antenna' long, joints
long, penult, and antepenult, shortened.
Dorsal plates distinctly bisulcate; anterior i)redorsal plates short,
posterior longest; ventral plates with an indistinct nu'dian depression.
Spiracles round, anterior large, median and posterior small. First pair
of legs short, anterior and iiosterior subequal, former stouter.
Coxa of anal legs strongly swollen, pores rather large, over 30 j last
ventral plate moderately wide (1.5: 2), sides converging.

This genus ditters from Parajulus in the mandibulary combs being
four; the tirst segment of an equal size in both sexes; the second i»air
of feet not stunted; and the tirst pair of the male small, three-Jointed,
the last joint large and uncinate.
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. JuluB Owenii, 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 ])ale oval spot at the base of antenna?; feet and autennie
pale. Moderately slender, not smooth, not pilose. Vertex rough; a
faint median sulcus; setigerous foveola? absent. Antenna subclavate,
eciual to the width of body. Eyes indistinct, subcircular; ocelli not
always filled out, about 28, arranged in (> or 7 series. Segments 38-40.
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 marginate, not pilose; anal
scale triangular. Repugnatorial pore moderately large, longitudinally
oval, touching the transverse suture, which is excised, ^nirs of feet
54-66, rather stout, equaling the width of body." Male: mandibulary

Eyes triangular; ocelli arranged in several seiies. Antenna' short,
subclavate, joints longer than wide, second and sixth subecjual, the
latter enlarged as in Ctunbulu. ^Fandibulary combs six (."»). Gnatho-
chiiarium barely spatulate; stii)es sejiarated, attenuated towards the

l)Osterior plate trapezoidal, anterior lanceolate-trianguhir; lingual
l)latcs sei)arated; lingual lobes denticulated. Segments constricted in
the middle; the anterior ten segments striate from the feet to the re-
})ugnatorial pore, the strije diminishing on tne other segments; at the
junction of the anterior and posterior parts are round impressions,
larger than the pore, extending around all, excei)t the first or 8; first
segment nearly -as wide as the next two. Itepugnatorial pore begin-
ning on the sixth segment, i)laced in the posterior part. Fourth seg-

This genus seems to be more related to Camhala than any other
genus, but nevertheless it also approaches Jidomorpha, especially in
the construction of the guathochilarium. It is distinguished from all
the known genera by the first i)air of feet of the male.

DESCRIPTION OF NEW GENERA AND SPECIES OF NORTH AMERI-

BY C. 11. KOLI.MAN.
In exiuuiiiiii<; tin* inat(>ri:i] of this family in tlu» inuscnni of tlio Indiana

Family xV.— JULIDJC, Leaiih.
(icnus I. — Nannolene, ;ien. iniv.
Antenna' short, subclavate, Joints lonjifer than wide, second and sixth
snbe(iual, the hitter enlar;;ed as in Camhula. Mandibnhny combs (o),
Gnathoc'hihirium somewhat spatnhite, stipes separated attenuated at
the base, mentum entire, exposed, promentnm divided almost as in Cam-
^nlouv Tuloniorpha; linjj:ual h)besdenticuhited. Se^jmentsconstrieted in
the miildle, the anterior ten si'j^ineiits striate from the feet to the pore?
stria* dimiiiislnng on the others; at the Junction of the anterior and
posterior parts of almost every se;jfment are rouml impressions, larjjer
than the repugnatorial pore, which extend around all these}»iuentsex-
cei)t the anterior ()-8. Repujijnatorial 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 rehati'd more to Camhula, than any other, although it
approaches lulomorpha in the form of the promentum. The following
species is the type :
Nanuolene burkei, sp. uov.
Light brown, a lateral row of large brown spots, a brown band be-
tween eyes. Slender, not smooth or pih)se. Vertex smooth, a faint
median sulcus, setigerous foveohc absent. Antennt»' equaling the width
of body, pilose. Eyes distinct, triangular; ocelli 2 to 5. Segments 50
or 51 , Sides of tirst segment striate, others moderately striate beneath,
posterior margin of each segment with tine parallel stria-. Last seg-
ment rounded; anal valves not marginate, pilose; anal scale obtusely
rounded, pilose. Kepuguatorial pore small, not touching the trans-
verse suture. l*airs of feet about 87, extending beyond the sides of

To this jiemis iM'ioiiy: our larj;er s[K*ciesotsoealhMl ./m/m«. From the
latter tfeniis it is easily separated l>y the number <(t mandibulary eombs
(10), the dwarfed seeoiul pair ot" feet and the form of the tirst seg-
ment of the nnih' with its appendaues.
Under the ^enus ./m/«x, \V«)od says, "In ail species in whieh 1 have
had the opportunity of exaujininj^ sexes, the form of the tirst seutum
distinjjuishes them with certainty. In the male its antero posterior
diameter is larfje, and there are well marked lateral margins ruuniu};-
nearly at rij;ht anj^les Ut the others. In the female the anterior pos-
terior diameter is much less, but laterally the scutum is so produced
that the anterioi' and postei inr mar<»ins may in most cases be said to
meet one am)ther at an an};lc. Tiic males are further distin<;uished by
a peculiar alteration of the tirst [lair «)f feet, which are transformed into
a pair of very larp', thick organs."
By applying this remark to those species of which he ha<l both sexes,
we have most of the species known to be in this genus at present. The
following is a key to the subgenera:

This genus is ndated to 1'olffile.stnuft and Scfftonotus. but can be easily
separated by the <'haracter of the dorsal ])lates.
2. Chaetaspis albus, sp. nov.
Wiiite tliroughout. Slender, small, slightly acuminate before. An
tenna' exceeding the width of body, subclavate. First dorsal plate
large, semiciicular, angles not produced, provided with live rows of
hairs. Other dorsal i)lati's with the ])osterior angles a little produced,

aiul then inwards so that the ends almost touch over the nu'dian line
of body, rather robust, somewhat flattened, the eml apparently divided
into three i>ieces — a small lobe, followed by a long and slender one with
the end turned sharply downward, aiul this by a large Hat bifid ]»iece;
inner piece narrow an<l thin, sickle shaped, the end curving up be-
tween the branched lobe of the outer piece; coxa^ with a lew long
hairs. Seventh dorsal plate enlarged. Length of body G-7.5""" ; width,

Habitat. — Bloomington, Ind.
I have examined four 9 9 and three (5 $. It seeuH to be nu)re under-
ground in its habits than the other sj>ecies of this family known to me.
1 have always found it under logs buried rather deep in the ground.
I thought at lirst this might be the young of some other Pi>lydvsmi<la\
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 111. — Soytonotus Koch.
3. Scytonotus cavernarum, sp. nov.
Allied to nodido.sHs Koch. Pure white throughout. Slender, some-
what depressed, acuminate anteriorly. xVntenna' exceeding the width

of the above cave, in October, ISSd. As alieady stated, this species is
more nearly relate*! to no/hihhsus, but as firan'ilutiis is the only species

As I'rof. I'ocy did not mention any i)aitieuliir locality in t]\v island
of Cuba, I suppose that most of the species are from the vicinity of
Havana.
I desin' to tiMider my thanks to I'lof. Poey for the mat«'iial I hav»'

5. Stenonia maculata. sp. iiov.
hiiUjHotils. — Uelated to Xtenonio fitnhriatt( ( I'eters), but at once sep-
arated by the tubereulation of the dorsal plates, by the iieiiulatioii of
lateral carii:.e, by the character of anal sejifinentand the pattern of col-
oration.
The following is a careful description of the species: Kosy, especially
the tubercles; nearly all the repujiiiatorial pore bearing segments with
a dec'i) blotch on each side above the carina-; antenna' dark, legs pale.
Body wide, <'onvex, not attenuated anteriorly, slightly posteriorly. An-
tenna' short, subdavate. First segment very wide, completely conceal-
ing the head as \i\ Jimhri((tiis ; a row of small scales along the posterior
margin; two large median scales; along anterior margin a row of
twelv<' rectangular scales, between the third ami fourth from posb'rior
angle a distinct not(;h, between the others a slight waviness. Other
segments with three distinct rows of scales with smaller ones inter-
sjK'rsed; lateral carina' crenulate the tirst six, the eighth, eleventh, and
fourteenth, with two crenulation^^, the rest with three; a distinct me-
dian <lorsal line. Anal segment with six tuben;les along posterior
margin; j)reanal scale obtuse, with two long, slcjider S])ines.
Length, <?(>""", 9 1L'..V""'; width. S IM*""", 9 2.8""".
This new species belongs to the subgenus Stenonia { = PI((ti/rh((cn.s).
Among the material sent by Prof. Poey is a dried male and female of
this si)e<'ies.

Tlio followinjj list of myriiiiMMls is based \\]um an extensive collection
made at vaji<»us times by Mr. (Miarles 11. Ilranner, of Mossy Creek,
Tenn. As tiie material was collected in all sea.sons of tlie year, a.id a
lar^e number of spt^cies found, it is mite to say that this list is almost
complete.

for the numerous specimens In* has so kindly sent me.
1. Andrognathus corticarius Cope
Common. The number of se<>ments vary from .w-fi.") in the adult
speciniens. The tifth and sixth antennal joints are not united as Cope
has stated, but are distinctly separate, the sixth being' the larjjest joint.
2. Nemasoma miiiutiim (lirantlt).
In one lot of material sent were six specimens of this species.
3. Parajulus peuiisylvanicus (Brandt).
Abundant.
4. Cambala annulata fSay),
Abundant. All the specimens of this species which I have received
from East Tennessee ami North Carolina (Balsam and Chapel Hill)
are very large (4r)-,>2"""), and of a very dark-brown shade, while those
which 1 have exanuned from other localities (Indiana and Arkansas)
are much smaller (20-38'"'") and of a light yellowish br«)wn shade.
Specimens from the latter localities may represent a geogray>hical
S})ecies, but it is hard to say what form Say described, althoujjh his

and Florida.

Fontaria pulchella, .sji. uov.
D'hujuosU. — Kciated to F. oblonffn* Koch, but the hiteial caiinje
smaller, and ju'odiiced into a sharp i»oint posteriorly; repujinatorial
pore suhinferior; ventral spine large, cylindrical, tapering-, curved out-
wards.
Type.—V. S. Nat. Mus.; No. 404, Author's coll.
Description. — llrown, lateral carina' and jiosterior border of segments
red; legs an<l under parts yellow. Uody very robust, anterior segment
scarcely attenuated; smooth, with numer<ms short lines, as in castanca
and teniics.sccmis; papilhe less iirominent. Vertex sulcus distinct;
tbveohe single. Lateral carina' small, margins swollen and produced
jxisteriorly into a sharp point. Repugnatorial ]»ore large, subinl'erior,
subapical. Ventral plate armed ; coxa* unarmed. Length, 20""" ; width,
4.3"""; height, 4.2"'"'.
Dr. Koch's iigun^ of Fontaria ohUm<i<( represents a species which is
more de])ressed, lateral carina' larger, and the repugnatorial pores not
subinferi((r, but on the ni>per side as in casiamu or tonusseensis.
The white Avith which he says the lateral carina' 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.

Tde.«?iro to express my thanks to the foUowinjif-namod aentlemen, who
have kindly collected specimens for me, thus enablinp,- me to make this
catalogue much more complete and satisfactory than would have been
jKKSsible Avithont their aid. .Vs more s])ecies have been foun<l about
Bloomingfton I have given it, when mentioning the localities of the
different species, precedence over the other i)laces.
1 do not mean to say that this list is conH)lete, for I think the follow-
ing additional species will some time be found within the limits of the
State: Parajulua canadoisift, Parnjnlns iJircrHifrons, PoJydesmns pinettt-
rum, Theatops spiniatuduSy Henicoj)H fulrit-ornis, and Lithobivs mordax.
*Thi8 eatalogne is prepared ]>artly from material in the V. S. National Museum

The above measurements, when comi)ared with those of Fontaria m-

This species is described from two females — one from each locality.
It approaches very closely to Koch's figures of F. rir{iitiirnsii<, and it
is probable that he has described this species as rirf/iiiioisis.

This si)eeies is described from an adult female.
According to Meinert's diagnosis of the genus SrlHudtfhi this species
would be included under that genus; but the three known spe<'ies nniy
be separated by the following generic iharacters:
(I. L'luw of niaxilliiry )iiil|iiis not ]»e<-tiiiiitc, outt-r part of fir.st pair of iiiuxillii* without
a trace of a lateral jtrotess; lahriiiii iMitiri'ly uiiit«Ml, tet-th 20-l.'2, «(jual; anal
leL^s 6-joint«Ml Xemorennitt.
un. Claw of maxillary palpus in-ctinate; outer part of tirst* maxilla- with a Hmall
lateral process; labriim free in the middle.
h. Aual pair of legs r)-Jointed; claw of maxillary palpuH only pe<-tinate under the
apex; labral teeth about !•'>, equal; tirst joiut uf unal k>;rs almoHt coalesce
with seccmil Kximia.
bb. Anal pair of Icfjs t>-jointed; claw of maxillary palpus jtectinate for its entire
leiifjjth; labral t«'eth H-|-10+8, the outer enlar;;ed; first joiut of aual legs not
coalesced with second imericaiiuii.
On account of these generic ditierences between the three species,
esiHxially between th«^ first and the last two, I have thought it best to
place americanus and iximin und4*r the new genus Pevtiniunffitis, of
which umeriedHHs is the type, restricting ISchendyla to ntmorefUfis.
The generic ditterences between americanux and eximia are no doubt
worthy of subgeneric rank, and I therefore propose the name Nan-
nopuH for the reception at' 4\rimia.

NOTES ON THE SYNONYMY OF THE MYRIAPODA.*

1841. — Omniophora Brandt. Kecneil, 49.

1884. — I'latydeainia (Saiiss. ( f ) ) Latzel. Myr. Ost. Uugar. Monarch., ii, 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 Folyzoniidw.
2. SlPHOXOPHORIN.«.
ISM.— Typhlogena Brandt. Recueil, .W.
1844. — i)iphonophorid<r Newport. Trans. Linn. Soc, 278.
1869. — Andrognathido! Cope. Proc. Aiuer. Philos. Soc, 182.
1884. — DoliHtenia Latzel. Myr. Ost. Ungar. Monarch., ii, 362.
Many writers have seen fit to detai^h 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 Andrognathm Cope in this subfamily makes the number of
segments valueless as a subfamily character.
3. Andrognathus.
1869, — Andrognathus Cope. Proc. Anier. Philos. Soc, 182 {cortiearms),
1875. — Dolistenus Fanzago. Atti Soc. Ven. Trent. Sci. Nat., 62 (sai-u)-
1884. — Dolicho8tenu8 Latzel. Myr. Ost. Uugar. Monarch., ii, 68 (emendation).
1884. — Dolysteniie Berlese. Acari, Myr. & Scorp. Ital., Fas. xii, 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 oi 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.

THE MYRIAPODA OF NORTH AMERICA. 137
1870. — I'etagrrpfM ('oj»e. TrauH. Amer. Ent. Soc, d'l {totalbn^).
188<). — Uirutiinoma Fjiii/.uj;o. Hull. S<h'. Eut. Ital., 27n (palHdum).
\HH7. — Hexaglcna McNeill. Proc. IJ. S. Nat. Mas., 328 (iriiptoaphala^^roHuIhum).
From the above Hynoiiyiny it can be seen that I have united the
American 'j;enera PetanerpeH and Hexaglcna with the Kuiopcan j;cnus
PoJxfzoniuni.
Concerning Petaserpea I wish to call attention to the following sen-
tence in Dr. Cojie's dia^rnosis : "Annula* without lateral ])roce8Kcs, each
with two pores, forming two rows on ca<'h side of the body."
The tirst part implies that each annula has two pores, but his next
phrase that each has four instead of tiro.
This obscurity of statement led Mr. McNeill to form his Hexaglcna,
which has only one row of foramina repugnatoria on ea<'h side of the
body, as was no doubt tlie case in Dr. Cope's specimens.
.5. OCTOfJLF.NA.
W&i.—Ovtog\ena Wood. Proc. Phila. Acad. Nat. Sci., 18fi (hirirgata).
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 }>oints:
Judging from Dr. Wood's figures and some remarks by Dr. Cope, it
seems to me tliat Octoglena is closely related to Polyzoniutn, ))ut that it
ditfers in having the tirst dorsal plate not produced to the base of the
auteuna;, and the body much narrower than in Polyzonium.
6. Platydesmi's.
1843. — Platydesmiia Lucas. Ann. Soc. Ent. France, 51 (polydeamoide)).
1849. — Piestodesmus Lucas. Rev. vt. Mag. Zool., 589 (moreleti),
1864. — Brachycybe Wood. Proc. Phil. Acad. Nat. Sci., 187 (lecontei).
The above nominal genera seem to agree in the shape of body, mark-
ings of segments, and structure of mouth parts, while the number ot
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 subgenera on this character.
7. Stkmmiulus.
1844. — Siemminhts Gorvais. Ann. Soc. Ent. France, 28 (biocitlatua).
1881. — St€mmijulu8 Karsch. Neue .Jul. Ber. Mas., als Prod. Jul. Monograph., ii
(emeud.).
This genus has been ranked by Dr. Latzel as only a subgenus of
Jm/m«, 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.

Tlie name Isohalis lias always been used by European authors,
because Xemasovia Koch was said to be pieoccupied by one of La-
treille's genera.
I find from Agassiz's Nomenclator that Latreille's genus is spelled
Nemonoma, a word sufliciently dilferent from Xcmatiomd.
Although this is a small ditterence between the two genera, never-
theless yem<(S(>mii must be used in i)]iU'e of Ixohates.

This genns is closely related to Acunthiulus, bnt is easily sejjarated

with 13 to 21 rows of carina-.

I agree with Dr. Latzel in considering the Trichopetahim iuUoideH
Harger as belonging to the genus Chordeuma; although there is some
probability that it may be the young of some Campoden. LariuluH Ber-
lese, which was placed by him in the Lysiopetalida; is a member of the

the description of several genera that are identical with earlier names

forming a part of Campodes, while Cryptotrichus Packard is also iden-
tical with the latter.

NOTES UPON THE SPECIES OF MYRIOPODA SYNGNATHA, DE
SCRIBED BY THOMAS SAY.*
BY CIIARKKM II. HOI. I.MAN.
Diirinj? tlu» past year, whilQ endeavoring to identify the North Anier-
lean specit'8 of niyriapods des<Tib«'d by early authors, 1 have .spent con-
siderable time Htudyiny those d«'8cribt'd "by Mr. Tliomas Hay, whose
only work on our species appeared in the .Journ. Acad. Nat. Sci. Philii.,
for IH'Jl. As my conclusions in several «ases in retj:ard to the identiti-
cation of his species are diftcrent 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 tyi)eaof Say's species that are probably now preserved are
those sent by him to Dr. Leiiyh and deposited by tlie latter gentleman
in the British Museum. These specimens were afterwards studied by
Newport and (Iray, and lately the type of Cryptops pontiruH and the
genus Theatopx have been reexamiue<l by Mr. K. Innes Pocock.
i.i the foUowing i)aper 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 t'«ree, on account of preoccupation, have
had to be changed, and six have since been transferred to other genera.

This species, at tirst considered to be valid, was afterwards identified
by Dr. Wood with his Julun i^enmtim. A comparison of these two si)e-
cies shows that they are very different. Besides, venustuH is not found
south of Kentucky, while Say's specimens of impreHHUH were from Geor-
gia and Florida, although it ranges north into the regiim of venmtns
(Connersville, Brookville, and Bloomingtou, lud.). This species should
now stand as Parajulm imprenHUS (Say).

*I now regard the old {jroup of Myriopoda as .being composed of two utterly dis-

the name of Myriapoda, and th<i otlier including tho Synfinntha as more closely re^^
lated to the Hexvpoda, aud shiiultl lut uuiiifid with it in a diutiuct class..

in specimens of spiniiii'nm^ while in our so-called iiiarfiiiuifi(,s the seg-

Am«'rican jiuthors liave referred to it another species — the monilittris
of Koch. This latter si)ecies has the lateral carina' finely denticul.ite

On ateoiiiif oftlir (lillerciicc of coloration assinncd l»y Say and N(nv-

his specimen is •* /vv/," and this would pie\ent me from idcntilyinj;'
ndnns with ct itfmlit'iis : hnt "Newpoit, who has examined ami deseiibed

When we take into considerali<m this ])ernliar patfi'in of coloration,
the nnnd)er of pairs of leys (."ilM. and the Icnuth of anal pair (hanUij
('.vcrrilinn tlnprnrditHt), there is only one known species with which we
can possibly id«'ntify (he riihciis of Say, and that our common aiul
widely «listrihuti'd (». nplitdicus Wood.
That Say's species is a true dropliihis is indicated by the following
lV(Mn his description : '^^sqiniiiits iritli tiro loiujitiid'nuti iinptvsscil linen."'
If Say had not mentioned this and no types of his species liad lu'eii
l>res(>rved I would hardly hesitate to identity ndxiis with i\\v /idr(( of

Of the sevi'uteen new speeios described by Say this <me is the most
inaccurately described and the one which has ;;iveu me the most
trouble in regard to its identiticatiou.
Nevertheless when wt .ake iuto consideration that there are ouly
three s])ecies (l((tro. hipiniiiicvp.s-, and J'(>r<(ifii.s) fouiul iu or very near
the rc*iion in which Say collected, ami compare them with Say's de-
scription of (itteuiitttus, I have I'ouiul that oiiiy one, bipKnvfirc})^, agrees
in regard to the shape of body and the length of anal k^gs.
Although most }»ersons would consider ottcnindNH unidentifiable, 1
think, at least tor the present or until more light (;au be thrown upon
Say's species, it is best to regard it the same as bipiinctiveps.
Besides the above seventeen new species Say has also noticed two
others — Fontaria rirf/iniensis and Svutujern forwj}s.

best to briii^j: togetlier in a ])aper luy notes relating- to his species.
The second of Dr. Koch' works is merely a more extended account of
the species mentioned in his first work, with ]tlates of eacli.
Of tlie fourteen new species described by Koch only five are good.
I desire to exjuess my thanks to Dr. Lucien M. Tnderwood, of Syr-
acuse, N. Y., for the privilege of exanuning a coi>y of Koch's "Die
Myriapoden."
1. Spirostreptua nutans Koch. Syst. Mvr.. 101. 1S47 (Xorlh Aniiriv<i); Die Myr., i.
11, pi. 7, lig. 14, 1S(;:!.
As the descrii)tions and figures of this species plainly show, it should
be referred to Parnjuhia caniKlcnsis (Newport).
2. Spirostreptua clavipes Kooli. Syst. Myr., 105, IHIT (Penutiyh-ania); Die Myr., ii.
ICS, pi. ll.->, tig. 22H, 1863.
This species, described from a male speciinen, 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., 12(5. 1847 (Pennsiilrania)', Die Myr., ii,
17, pi. ()8, lig. 140, ISiK^.
This species, the type of the genus Campodes, has been well de-
sciibed by Koch. It is the same as Spiroslreplion ('a'Hi(>annuIatii.s Wood
and the Pseudotremia viidil of Cope. Campoden Koch { = (JryptotrichuH
I'ackard).
4. Cainpod='s fuscicornis Koeh. Syst. Myr., 127, 1847 (Pennsylrania); Die Myr., ii,
16, pi. 68. fifj. 1.^9, 1863.
This new species, as Koch has liinted, " VieUfiehi nur Ahart der
rorifien,'''' is only a slight c(dor variety of the preceding, and is not
worthy of specific or subspecific rank.
5. Scytonotus scabrioollis Koch. .Syst. Myr., 130, 1847 (Fennsjilrania) ; Die Myr., ii,

This spocios, the typo of tlio jjiMiiis Srtffonofns, is icloiitical with the
PolydrMniKH tfronfdfitns of Say.
6. Scytoiiotus laevicollis Kocli. Syst. Myr., I'M, 1847 (Xnrih Amerira); Die Myr.,
II, 11, i>l. Ko. lijr. l6.^. 1803.
The only dirterenecs Koch makes between this and the |ae»'e«liiij>
species is in the iiuiiiber of rows of scah'like tiilu'icuh's on tiic liist
dorsal phite, one instead of tlircr. Tiiis character is utterly worthless,
as the scales on the tirst doisal plate vary in number and are sometimes
almost obliterated. On account of this variation his hcrirollis is the
same as scabrivollis, and hence identical with Say's f/raniilaftis.
7. Scytonotus nodulosus Koch. Syst. Myr., 131, 1817 (Pennxiflranid); Itic Myr.,
II, 13, pi. 80, lijr. ItU. 18<;3.
This species, which .seems to be valid, bears, in its freuorij] ap])eai ain-e,
a resemblance to AW//</«i«WM.s, but the position of tin* repuj^iiatorial pore
excludes it from that f^enus. It can not be the IScyfonotus aetUjcr ot
Wood, becau.se the latter species has the S(|uamation more like that of
///Y<»/^/^f^//.<?, and not as in I'nhfdrfimHs. His fi^nres of the first dorsal
plate «lo not a<»ree in refjaid to tlu^ position of the anterior row of tiiber-
cules; one shows tliem alouft" and inside the anterior mar.uin, as no doubt
they are, wliile tin' other represents them as ])]aced on the margin and
appearing as sharp and dee}) serrations.
8. Polydesmus glaucescens Koch. Syst. Myr., 133, 1817 ( Xorth Amrr'na ) : Die Myr.,
I, ."iil, pi. 26, tig. 51, 18(53.
This is identical with the PoUfdexnuis serratns of Say.
9. Polydesmus pennsylvanicus Koch. Syst. Myr., 133, 1847 ( ronmylrdHia);
Die Myr., ii, 18, pi. ($9. tig. 142, 1863.
Probably identical with srrratxs. It ditlers in having" four .scale-like
tubercules in the tirst row. Koch may have diawn liis ligure from one
of the ultimate segments, and this will account for the larger number
of .scales. On the ultimate segments of nerratxs there is occasioiiall}' a
tendency for four scales in the first row.
PennsyWanicuH can not be the same as i*. hmmieri Bolbnan. tor tlie
latter has so far only been found in the Tennessee mountains. Several
Italian authors have recorded specimens oi pen nsj/J ran i<ii.sl\oui northern
Italy, but this is no doubt due to an erroneous identification.
10. Polydesmus moniliaris Koch. Syst. Myr., K^i, 1847 (/V»»»s///*«;/;f» j ; Die Myr.,
II, 20. pi. 69, fig. 143, 1863.
A valid species. It is the same as the Poli/desnins fierratns of Wood.
11. Euryurus maculatus Koch. Syst. Myr., 138,1847 (fhahifat); Die Myr.. i. 7. pi.
3, lig. 8, 1863.
According to Peters, who has probably examined the type sj^ecimen,
mavulntus is the same as EnryuruH cryikropyijuH (Brandt). In this
view he seems to be correct, for I can find no dirtV'ience between the de-
scription of maculatua and specimens of erythr«q}yyii.s.

It could iHtt 1)0 iiitrodiicfd into tlir k«'y without atlfctiiiji' the natural
order of jieiiera, 1 have phut'd it. with its short iliayiiosis, as a foot-
nut**.
On account of tin' j;reat ditVerencc between the two |)rincii)al orders
of the old ^iroiip of Myriapo«la, as has been recently shown by I'ococU,
Kinjisley, and several continental writers. I have reuar<led the old
jii'onp as forinin<:f two distinct divisions: One. the Synj;iiatha, as beinj;
more ilosely related to the ilexapoda, and should be united with it to
from om^ (dass;* the other, the I>ipl<tpo)hi and Pnuropodn + ^is form-
injj another class, to whi<d» I have restricted the name of ]\Iyriapoda.
1 have rej^arded the tJidltla' and Their allies as beinj^ the oldest uronp
on account of the followinji' facts:
(1) That they are the only ^rouj* of which we have any fjeolojrical
evidence.
(2) That they have niort^ se|i>ineuts than other jiioups, tiius showin<;
less specialization (tlu^ -J-footed condition of the younj; is due to the
amount of food y<dk and not to any ancestral form.)
(3) That they have simple, tracheie.
The Myriajioda may be divided into the foUowiii}^ subclasses:
a. Aiitciin;!' siiii])!*', not ramose, .5->< .jciiiitt'd: soiiu' or ne;iily all of tlie se^^iut-iits will.

This subclass contains the following; two sui)erorders :

* For this class I pro]>ose the name Etifmorhila (rrrini^, true; xiAor. lip), on aoonnt
of the fact that it is the only gronj) of Artiiroi)oda which has a trne labium. The
Syngnatha and Hexapoda are considered as snbclasst-s.
t I have considered tiie I'din-npixhi as l»einn more closely allied to the IHplopoda on
acconnt of the anterioi' position of the genital opening, the tbrm and jiosition of the
<;((])nlatorv appendix at ba.se oi .seioud pair of legs as in the I'ohjxenid'.v, and the

are too close to admit of so liigh a rank. •

r.Y CIIAKI.KS II. IIOM.MAN.
Ill ju'conliiiice witli the virws iccriitly advniuiMl l)y Pocock. Kiiiji's-
\oy, and several coiitiiieiital writers, 1 have rejiarded the SipujiKithn as
beiiij; more closely allied to the H('X(ip<nJn than to any orders of the
old group of Mf/rit(i)oihi. For the class iiieludiiii; the SiitKjtutthd and
JIexapoiIi(, I )>ropose the name I'Jti/iiKK'/iila, in relerenee to the fact that
they are the only two groups which have a true labium. T have ar
ranged the tbllowing classilication accor<ling to an ascending series.
My reasons for phicing the Litln>hii<l<v lowest are as follows:
1 (a) According to the investigations of Ilaase, in Lithohins, Ihnicops^
Cryptops^Awd in young specinu'iis <)f Scolnpctidni and Jhuriuui, the spir-
acles are «'haracterized by a feeble margin, a shortish cone, no closing
apparatus, an«l by the sei)arate aj^ertures of the traclu'a'.
{h) That in the Geophilid(V and SmJopendrUUv the tracheal system is
most highly developed.
2. In the distribution of the genera of ANAMoiiriiA. {Hrjiicops, Ijith-
f>fti//s, and Hcntigcrn) we see indications of tln'ir oidness, while in the
distribution of a large number of genera of Eiumoki'IIA we observe that
they are confined to small areas and not cosmopolitan as the others.
Although tlie Epiniorpha may have tlu' highest development of a
tracheal system, nevertheless in many ])oiiits the Geopln'lithr show in-
dications of a degenerate family.
Class ETYMOCHILA.
Siabclasw I — JSVXtxN A1"H^.
A comparison of the characters (jf the Epimorpho and Anamorphn of

may be characterized as follows:
a. Pairs of legs 15; coxir large; feniak's with external genital armature: biudgut
straight; young born with scvfii pairs of Ic^s AxAMouriiA.
aa. Pairs of legs always more than 21 ; c )xa' small ; ft'uialcs withontextfrnal genital
armature; hiuil gut Ix-iit; young born with as many pairs of legs as adult
Epimorimia.
*Siuce A'//n</?irt//i«, as defintMt by Leach, is an older name than tlie Cliiloiwda of

A recent examination of the type of Cryptopn po-Htiva Say, which is de-
posited in the British museum, by Mr. Iv. Innes Pocock,* has proven
that Newjunt was mistaken as to Say's spe<*ies having eyes. The
elimination of this (character makes Theatops identical with Opin-
thetneya; but as the former is oldest it must be used in place of the lat-
ter, notwithstanding the fact that it is based in part upon an erroneous
character. This conclusion was publislied by me some time before Mr.
Poiock's i)ai)er api)eared (T. craHsipes Bollman, Am. X. Y. Lye. N. H.,

The increase in length of legs is more noticeable in specimens from
the southeast portion of the United Slates, 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 (leorgia.
Some specimens from Winona and Chicago ha\e the interior spine
of anal legs absent.
The specimen from Jialtimore 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 tScoJop. georfiicffi of
Meinert; although the anal legs are hmger, the Ursl 4 dorsal plates im-
marginate, and tlie i)rosternum slightly dentate, I believe it should not
be considered as a good species.

A LIST OF THE MYRIAPODA OP^ MINNESOTA.*
;Y « UAKI.KS II. IKtI.I.MAN.
The tollowiiig list of iiiyria|)<»(ls of thr State of ^liniu'sota is based
upon tiie inat«'rial in my collection, \vhi<li has Ix-on (dllcctt'd at two
points, Fort Sncllin^ and Winona,
liefon- I began my study of the myiiapods of Minnesota, only on(^
speries {Linot<v>iia vhionophihi) was reported from this State. In this
paper 1 have retMirded twenty-tive species as occurrinj^j' within the lim-
its of the State. I wish to exi>ress my indebtedness to Messrs. \V. 1).
and (t. M. llowe for the material from I-'ort Snelling. and to Mr. .1. M.
lIolziii;4er, of the State Noi inal, for the material fr<nn Winona.
\. — Four SNELLiNd.
The material from tliis ])laee was eoUeeted durin<»' the summers of
18<S<> and 1.S87. On account of the dry seasons the collections were
small; in fact, only nine species were obtained, against twenty -four
from Winona.

southern and eastern localities, but the majority of specimens are small
(8-10""") and Gtrougiy resemble Chordeuma.

to let it stand as it is.
B. — Winona.
The coli-'ctions received from this locality were made durinj^- 188C 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-
jRxls of this vicinity.
The <ii'eater bulk of the nuiterial consisted of specimens of Lithobius
forjicatiis.

I have been unable to find any differences between P. lecontei and
rosea or califoniicus; especially Karsch's description of the latter, for
Murray's description of rosea is so meager that it is almost impossi-
ble to identify his s})ecies with any of the others.
A careful study of the male copulation foot of the Eastern and West-
ern forms mav reveal some differences.

coxie of seventh pair produced into large and heavy lobes; tarsi of legs
without a pad; sixth and seventh segments swollen beneath. Length,
70"""; width, 8.5°"".
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 multiforus ni>t
much resemblance will be found between the two.
3. Spirobolus surinameusis, sp. iiov.
Diagnosis. — Related to Spifohoins dominica' Pocock. Segments with-
out a transverse sulcus, their surface with numerous horseshoe-like
depressions.
Type. — INfale and female, U. S. Nat. Museum. ,

its inn<'r margin slightly c(Micave, a small win^ on its anterior surface;
l)Osterior <'opulati(»n loot somewhat hook like, its end rounded and
slij^htly bitid; on the inner side are three lobes; the first is lar;>e and
moderately flat, with its entire surfac<';;rajiulated; the second is spine-

This si>ecies seems to bear little lesemblaiice to any other from Amer-
i<'a. It probably comes nearest to S. tlomini('((\ as shown by the form of
the ])osterior <opulati«)n foot, but the rest of the copulatory or^an is
entirely ditterent.
In the collection is one .-specimen labelh'd "Surinam,'' and a very lar^e
number in another vial without any locality, but which I suppose are
from the same phu^c.

Two specimens (male and female) were found in a vial containing; Spi-
robolun surin((mrn8is, wliicih were identi«'al with a spe<'imeii in anotlier
vial from Paramaribo, Surinam. As these s])ecimens are from the same
region where the tyi)es o[' voarvtidus were from, I have not liesitate«l to
identify them with that species; in fact, if I had no males the locality
v»'ould be the princii)al means of identifying, as it is impossible to sepa-
rate /;ract7/«, coarctdfKs, and ilasi/x by any other point than that of the
male genitalia. My identifying these specimens with coarctatus and con-
sidering viearius and pocj/i identical, as shown by the co])ulation foot of
the males, has led me to study the «lit1'erent species belonging to this
group. Herelu'tbre (•oarctafus has been considered identical with Fon-
faria gracilift Koch, from Tulolos, Austria; but as i)roven by Latzel's
figure* of the copulation foot of Austrian specimens, this can not be.
Coarctatus ami (jracUis have also been considered identical with a
certain si)ecies from Borneo, Timor, Alinda and A'iti-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
gracilis than coarctntusj are not identical and represent an nndescribed
species (0. A'ar.sr/ii, sp. nov.). On account of these changes and dif-
ferences the species of Orthomorpha should stand as follows:
1. Orthomorpha coarctata (Saussure) {^:^rkariuH\:^imeyi). Habitat: West lu-
dies, Sminain, Brazil, and Africa.
2. Orthomorpha beaumonti (Le Guillou) {^=r.npeciahHin Kars.h). Habitat:
Horneo aud .Java.
3. Orthomorpha pekinensia (Karsch). Habitat: Pekiii<r, China.
4. Orthomorpha flavolimbata (Guldeusteeden aud Ej^eling). Habitat: Japan.

t P. ficarius Karsch may not be identical with coarviaiua, as his fignre of the male
genitalia only shows two i)oints, while in coarctatus there are three; but as they are
Ismail, it is very probable he did not observe the third.

NOTES ON A SMALL COLLECTION OF MYRIAPODS FROM THE
BERMUDA ISLANDS.
nV (SIAKLES II. I'.OIXMA.N.
The following species, which were eollected by Prof. Ileilprin in
the suuimer of 188S, althou<;h limited in iiuniber, show the diverse
origin of the Myriapod fauna of the Bermuda Islands. Ileretofo'e
J idus morelefi hiin only been found in the Azores Islands; Mecistocc-
phalxs (fiiiUlinfiii in the West Indies; Lithohius Uipidicola in Europe,
and Spiroboliis hUpriiii, by having scobina, shows its West Indian and
not African origin, for all found in the latter continent belong to the
subgenus Spirobohts from which scobina are absent.
These four species, including a specimen of Scolopemlra subspinipes
which I have in ray collection, are all that as yet have been reported
from the Hermuda Islands.
I desire to express my thanks to Prof. Angelo Ileilj^rin, of the Acad-
emy of Natioiiiil Sciences of Philadelphia, for the privilege of examining
this collection of Myriapods.
1. Spiroboliis Heilprini, sp. uov.

which ends above rennj^iiatorial por**: posteriorly above with a tew

with a tlat, thick macro, whi<-h passes beyond valves; anal valves
weakly margined, not punctate; anal scale obtnsely angled. Hepugna-
torial j»ores jdacedon anterior division, small and ratherdeej) set. Legs
extending slightly beyond sides of body. Male: Slemlerer than fennile;
coxa^ of .'Jd, 4th, oth, pairs of legs producid into short lobes; til»ia and
first two tarsal Joints beneath witli an oval roughened lobe;.joints of
anterior legs short and thick, third and fouith |)airs of legs strongest;
tarsi withouta pad; ventral i)lateof copulation-foot triangnlaras high as
foot, its base not concave, its posterior surface ridged, thus making the
plate of a triangular-pyramidal form; anterior i)art of first foot not as
high as ventral i)late, triangularly pointed, the ventral plate ridge
separating them; posterior part of anterior foot as high as ventral
plate, its apex with a short blunt lobe on its posterior surface; posterii)r
copulation-foot bitid, projecting out of tlu' opening, the upper braindies
flattened and fan-sh.aped at its end, which is convex; h>wer branch
elongate-lanceolate, its upper e«lge serrate, basal i)art of foot rectang-
ular and white, while the ujjper ])art is yellowish. Segnu'nts male, 4<5;
female, 44. Length 52 """, width li. 8 """-4. 2 """.
This species is described from six broken and badly preserved si)eci-
mens. In the type of copulation-foot it resembles that of arhorcus and
dugeai^ and it is very ])robable that all the species behmging to this
group have the same type, i. e., the ventral plate triangular and as high
as ])osterior part of anterior ])art, while the anterior part is less, the
posterior foot bitid and projecting out of the oitening.
I have named this species after Prof. Angelo Ileilprin, of the Acad-
emy of Xatural Sciences of Philadelphia,
2. Jiilus Moreleti I^ucus.
In the collection are a number of female specimens which I refer to
this species. It has only been found in the Azores Islands.
These specimens have the stria' of the anterior division of the seg-
ments not so irregular as represented in Porath's figure of this spe-
cies.*
Segments 42-49. Adult almost black, legs reddish brown; young
dusky, with a lateral row of black spots and a mediuia black dorsal
line, bordered with yellowish,
