DESCRIPTIONS OF FOURTEEN NEW SPECIES OF NORTH AMER- 

 ICAN MYRIAPODS. 



BY CHARLES H. BOLLMAN. 



The present paper contains descriptions of fourteen species of rayria- 

 pods which I believe to be new. 



The types of all have been presented to the U. S. National Museum. 



I take pleasure in acknowledging ray indebtedness for specimens to 

 Prof. George F. Atkinson, of the University of South Carolina; to Dr. 

 Richard D. Owen, of New Harmony, Ind. ; to Mr. Charles B. Brainier, 

 of Mossy Creek, Tenn. ; to Mr. and Mrs. Carl H. Eigenmaun, of San 

 Diego, Cal. ; to Mr. Charles L. Edwards, of Johns Hopkins University; 

 to Mr. James H. Burke, of Ukiah, Cal., aud to Mr. Frederick C. Test, 

 of Westneld, Ind. 



1. Parajulus ectenes, sp. nov. 



Diagnosis. Allied to Parajulus pennsylvauicus (Brandt), but the form 

 of body much more slender, the repugnatorial pore not touching trans- 

 verse suture, which is straight, and the male gen italia entirely different. 



Type.U. S. Nat. Museum. 



Habitat. Chapel Hill, Orange County, N. C. 



Description of type. Very dark brown, almost black, light spots 

 more or less confluent and indistinct, joints of antennas tipped with 

 white; legs brown, slender; segments pilose and sulcate, iisiiipenn- 

 sylvanicus. Vertex not silicate, setigerous foveolre present. Antenna 1 

 scarcely subclavate, longer than width of body. Ocelli distinct, $ 70- I), 

 9 00-8, arranged in a subtrapezoidal patch. Last segment not pass 

 ing beyond anal valves, which are pilose and not marginate ; anal scale 

 obtuse-angled. 



Number of segments, $ and $ 67. 



Pairs of legs of female, 120. 



Length of body: $ 46 111111 , width l.(>""", antenna) 2.7 mm ; 9 length 

 54" 1U1 , width 1.8""", antenna) l.O 111 " 1 . 



1 have a single pair of this species, collected by Prof. George F. At- 

 kinson. In the same collection there is a young Parajulus that prob- 

 ably belongs to this species. This species differs from any other by 

 the slender body and peculiar form of the male genitalia, which I have 

 not described here, but will do so in a paper relating to the genus. U 

 may be worthy of remark that at present I consider the^Jitlus 2>ilosis- 

 <-utis of Wood as identical with P. pennsylvamcus (Brandt). His de-
