12. Fontaria virginiensis Koch. Syst. Myr., 141, 1847 (Xorlh America) Die Myr., i. 



71, pi. 32, fig. 62, 1863. 



The specimens Koch has referred to the Julus virginiensis of Drury do 

 not belong to that species, but seem to be very close, if not identical, 

 with Fontaria bittleriana Bollman from Indiana. His figures represent 

 a distinct, narrow, yellow baud along the posterior margin of the seg- 

 ments as in the latter species. 



13. Fontaria coriacea Koch. Syst. Myr., 141, 1847 ( Virginia) ; Die Myr., i, 72. pi. 32, 



fig. 63, 1863. 



A valid species of which Polydesmns corrugatus Wood is a synonym. 

 His specimens have a yellow band along the posterior margin of the 

 segments as is the case in the eastern specimens of coriacea. 



14. Fontaria oblonga Koch. Syst. Myr., 142, 1847 (Pennsylvania); Die Myr.,i, 73> 



pi. 32, fig. 64, 1863. 



A valid species belonging to the same group as castama, tennesseensis, 

 and pitlchra, and perhaps closely allied to the latter, from which it is 

 separated by the superior position of the repugnatorial pore. Koch's 

 specimens, as indicated by the color, were probably not full grown. 



15. Scolopeudropsis helvola Koch. Syst. Myr., 175, 1847 (Xurtli America) ; Die Myr., 



n, 34, pi. 76, fig. 156, 1863. 



Identical with Scolopocryptops sexspinosus (Say). From this and two 

 other species Koch has redescribed it seems as if he was unaware of 

 Say's paper on the North American Myriapods.
