 Hab. Under stones on dry banks, and near old walls ; common. 



Body elliptical, glossy and smooth, 4 lines in length, 2^ in 

 breadth : head black, pale grey or brown in front to a greater 

 or less extent, and sparingly hispid : antennae encircled at 

 their insertions with a raised rim, black with paler blotches, 

 the two outer joints clothed with short hairs : eyes small, 

 black, granular, lateral and marginal, and between them and 

 the antennae there are three raised lines : post-occipital 

 segment small, semicircular, marked with a slight depression 

 in the centre, and three impressed lines across the front, the 

 posterior margin yellow : first segment of the body large, 

 transverse, the nine following much smaller, subequal, the 

 caudal again enlarged and rounded behind ; all of them pitch- 

 black and margined with yellow ; the anterior margin of the 

 first with a transverse impressed stria, and two or three short 

 oblique striae on the sides of each of them, often concealed by 

 the manner in which they overlap one another : ventral sur- 

 face yellowish, blotched : legs black or sometimes dark-brown 

 with paler blotches, alike and equal, hispid, terminated with 

 a single sharp slightly curved claw. — In immature in- 

 dividuals the segments are usually marked with pale spots and 

 blotches, sometimes disposed so as to form two series along 

 the back, and the caudal segment with two round pale spots, 

 which are sometimes more or less visible even in full-grown 

 specimens. When alarmed, the insect contracts itself into a 

 pill-like ball.
