The two American species should now stand thus: 



1. Polylepis klugii (Brandt). 



2. Polylepis abstrusus (Karsch).

 (Puebla, Mexico). 



Ace. 17139, Puebla, Mexico; male and female. 



These specimens agree in all points with Saussure's description of 

 fraternuB. 



P. (tufirhiN may be different (1. 50 mm ), but its copulation foot is iden- 

 tical with that of the specimens before me, which are the same size of 

 fraternw.

ls5!l. Polydesmus nlotnitnx Sanssure. Linn. Ent., S22 (^'ord. rn, Jfexico) 

 Ace. 1S17S, Guanajuato, Mexico; Dnges; 4 males, 1 female. 



Copulation foot of male subsiinilar to that of fratenm. Apex bifid; 

 angle between them greater than a right; the upper lobe smallest and 

 pointed; the lower recurved, broader, subtruncate, and is the branch 

 through which the spermatozoa are conveyed; not far below the apex 

 on the interior side is a small triangular spine. l>asal spine rather 

 short, cylindrical, its apex curved upwards, separated from rest of foot 

 by a wide angle. Basal part of foot with short, almost spine-like hairs; 

 a te\v at the upper interior angle much longer. 



14. Linotaeiiia chionophila (Wood).

One small broken male, which I have been unable to separate from 

 the American species. Pairs of legs, l.'l.
