cipal articulations of the legs, viz. the two femoral joints 
and the tibiæ, are armed with stiff setae. The tibie are flat- 
tened, angular, and of a pale colour, marked with trans- 
verse bands of a blueish-black. The tarsi are filiform, nu- 
merously articulated, and ending with a single subulate claw : 
and, with the exception of the hinder pair, which are trans- 
versely banded like the tibiæ, are of a pale-yellow colour. 
The longest specimen hitherto examined was one inch and a quar- 
ter in length from the base of the antennz to the tail. An- 
tennz one inch and a half; and posterior legs 2-2; inches. 
This insect is found in damp houses under floor mats in all 
parts of Bengal, Bahar, and Orissa, but mostly during the rainy 
season, as Illiger has observed of his C. lineata. When living, 
the colours of the back and legs are bright, and varied between 
yellow, black, and brown : and although the above description by 
no means corresponds with the Cermatia livida described by 
Dr. Leach in the third volume of the Zool. Miscellany, it appears 
to answer to that of the Scolopendra longicornis of Fabricius.
