placed by the side of it, and which has the whole of the labium deeply punc- 

 tured. Leach might have been led to this mistake by the entire absence of 

 annulation on the legs of this variety of L. variegatus. What seems to support 

 this conjecture is Leach's note on the locality of L.forjicatus: — " Habitat in 

 Europa sub lapidibus. In Anglia, Hibernia rarior."

ocellis utrinque 24-26, antennis 40-articulatis pilosiusculis, labio complanato polito ob- 

 solete punctato angulo anteriore exteriore paulum producto, denticulis 8 brevibus obtusis

This specimen was found in an obscure collection of Scolopendrce in the 

 British Museum, and, from the label on the bottle, appears to have formed 

 part of the original collection of Sir Hans Sloane, in honour of whom I have 

 now named it. 



13. Lith. pilicornis (Tab. XXXIII. fig. 34.), ferrugineus, capite cordato; subsegmento an- 



tennali laevi, antennis pedibusque elongatis pilosissimis, labio polito pilis raris punctisque 

 obsoletis : denticulis 10 e quibus 3 utrinque interiores subapproximatae, ocellis utrinque 

 20-24, metatarsis ferrugineis. — Long. unc. \j^.

This species is very much like L. Sloanei, of which at first I suspected it was 

 only a variety; But it differs from that species in having the head cordate and 

 polished, with the posterior margin thickened, the antennae and body more 

 hairy, the labium hairy, with teii teeth; and also in its smaller size. In the 

 form of the labium and number of the teeth it very much resembles L. Ame- 

 ricanus, but differs from that species also in having the labium hairy. 



14. Lith. Argus, ferrugineus, capite parvo subconvexo, antennis pilosis, ocellis parvis brun- 



neis utrinque 28-30, labio angustato emarginato polito : denticulis 10 nigris. — Long, 

 unc. T^j. 

 Hab. In Nova Zelandia, prope Wellington, {v. in Mus, D. Hope.)
