132 Major-Gen. Hardwicke 071 Cermatia longicornis 



cipal articulations of the legs, viz. the two femoral joints 

 and the tibiae, are armed with stiff setse. The tibice 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 tibia?, 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 antenna; to the tail. An- 

 tennae one inch and a half; and posterior legs 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. litieata. 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 

 T3r. Leach in the third volume of the Zool. Miscellany, it appears 

 to answer to that of the Scolopendra longicornis of Fabricius.
