Mr. Newport on the Class Myriapoda, Order Chilopoda. 391 



This appears to be a very common species, but in the condition in which the 

 Myriapoda are usually brought to Europe, its colours are easily overlooked, as 

 they undergo much change in spirits. The most marked character of this 

 species is the indistinctness of the labial teeth, which in some specimens are 

 entirely absent. It differs also in the apex of the lateral anal appendages 

 being more elongated and bifid.
