I agree with Dr. Latzel iii considering Trachelodesmus as a subgenus 

 of Scytonotns. The subgenera may be distinguished as follows: 



a. Anterior scguieuts riot strikingly attenuated; antenna' and legs normal. 



SCYTONOTUS. 



<(. Anterior segment noticeably attenuated; legs rather long; antenna' long and 

 slender TRACHELODESMUS.

The subfamilies of Glomcriiltr established by Brandt and retained by 

 other authors are probably A'alid. In accordance with common custom 

 1 have changed Sphcerotheria to Sphcerotheriince.

1833. Glomeridia Brandt. Bull. Soc. Natur., Moscow, vi, 194. 



This subfamily should be called Gloun'rimr and not Glomeridia.

As Scotophilus Meinert is preoccupied (Scotophilus Leach, Mamm., 

 1822; Scotophilm Swains., Aves, 18,37), another name must be used as 

 a substitute, and I propose the above name in honor of its original 

 describer, Dr. Meinert, to whom all myriapodists are indebted for his 

 excellent works on the Chilopods.

 but as the last species (mr.s-.s//;r,s- Koch = acuminata Leach) was the
