Habitat— St. Vincent (H. H. Smith) .^ 



Taeniolinum is too imperfectly known to be referred to with cer- 

 tainty to its family. It may possibly belong to the Ballophilidae, 

 though not having the characteristic club-formed antennae of that 

 group and apparently having the ventral pores different in position. 



Scutigeridae. 

 Gonethella, gen. nov. 



Articles of antennae very short, much wider than long. First and 

 second division of the antennae very long, composed of numerous 

 articles, the first typically of above ninety and the second of more 

 than two hundred. First tarsal division of anterior legs within the 

 neighborhood of sixteen or seventeen articles. No spines detected 

 on tergites in type, though the specimen is considerably rubbed. 

 Second article of the female gonopods separated by a true, transverse 

 articulation characterized in having the free arms of the genital coxo- 

 sternum very long and conspicuously diverging caudad with the distal 

 article shorter than these, more strongly chitinized, and strongly 

 uncate. 



Genotype. — G. nesioies, sp. nov. 



53. Gonethella nesiotes, sp. nov. 



Type.— M. C. Z. 1,879. Cayman Brae, July, 1911. W. W. 

 Brown, Jr. 



Sides of dorsum dark, somewhat marbled. The usual median 

 dorsal light stripe. This encloses no darker markings and widens on 

 the caudal portion of each tergite about the stoma saddle. The legs 

 at present are ochraceous, showing no distinct markings but there are 

 vague indications of darker areas on the proximal articles wliich may 

 have been bleached out. 



First division of antenna consisting of about ninety-five articles 

 the second of over two hundred and fiftv-five.
