A CATALOGUE OF THE KNOWN MYRIAPODA OF NORTH AMERICA, 



NORTH OF MEXICO. 



!*Y CHARLES HAUVEY KOLLMAX. 



In examining the literature relating to the North Ainerieau Myria- 

 poda, I liave found descriptions of a large number of species which do 

 not seem to be known to specialists working in this branch. On ac- 

 count of these and the number of species recently described I have 

 deemed it best to form a catalogue, believing it would be the best 

 means of bringing these facts before students. I have used the same 

 divisions as used by Packard in the Third Report of the V. S. Entomo- 

 logical Commission. 



Order DIPLOPODA.

In Mr. I'lollinan's MSS.. ^>-\i\ nn- lor c\aiiiinat ion after his death, then- appeared 

 this paper. In its original form the references to literature were ^i \ en in footnotes, 

 which made up fully half the paper. There \\cre no reference-, t.i species docrilied 

 in Wood's Myriapoda of \m-th .ti<-ri<-t< (1X(5). and no synonyms were uivcn. These 

 have Iteen added, toother with additional species from his latest published papeix, 

 and the footnotes havn been uniformly incorporated into the text, believing ihat 

 this form will be most convenient for reference. In the ^eo^raphie dist ribnt ion Nil. 

 refers to the Atlantic province, northern jiart; SI-',, to the Atlantic I'rovinre. south- 

 ern part ; and P. to tho I'acilic Province. 1,. M. 1 '\DI-K\\ m n>.
