JULUS TEUTONICUS, PoCOCk, 



A single specimen, found at Delphi, Co, Mayo, in 1897. 



This is the largest tailless British millipede, with the 

 -exception of /. londinensis, which has never been found 

 again since Leach described specimens from the environs 

 of London. His types are in the British Museum, and 

 Pocock has shown ^ that in some respects they differ 

 considerably from the species now called /. londinensis by 

 continental writers. For this species he therefore proposed 

 the name /. teutonicus, which is thus equivalent to the 

 /. londinensis of Verhoeff and others, but different from 

 that of .Leach. I have compared this specimen with 

 Verhoeff's types of /. londinensis and the two certainly 

 seem to be identical. 



It is a large tailless millipede, dark coloured, of about 

 the same siz-e as /, niger. 



JuLUS LiGULiFER, Latzel. 



A single specimen from Cavan (July, 191 1, Rev. W. F. 

 Johnson). 



This is a dark slender species with a sharp caudal process, 

 and has the posterior edges of the segments fringed with 

 fine bristles. It is very closely allied to /. pilosus, Newport. 



These five new species bring the Irish list up to thirty- 

 one. There are about fifty known in Great Britain, and 

 it is probable that systematic collecting will reveal the 

 presence of nearly the whole of these, and possibly of some 

 that do not occur there. We have already one such species 

 in Polydcsmus gallicus, Latzel.
