354 Mr. Newport on the Class Myriapoda, Order Chilopoda. 



In this species the lateral margins of the scutella are almost straight, the posterior border is 

 obtusely rounded, as in C. rubrolineata, and the marginal teeth are regular, strong and 

 very acute. The posterior part of the head is convex, and the yellow dorsal median 

 line of the scutella is extended to the face, on which it ends in two narrow diverging 

 yellow lines. The antennae are twice as long as the body. The mandibles are yellow, 

 with three brown, imperfect annuli, and the legs are very long, as compared with the 

 length of the body, the posterior pair being nearly three times its length. 



This species being from Africa, I have endeavoured to ascertain whether it 

 is either of those figured by Savigny in the great work on Egypt, but have 

 been unable to identify it with either of those species, and shall therefore 

 regard it as distinct.

This is a very distinct species, somewhat resembling C. rugosa, but much 

 larger, and more nearly allied to C. nobilis. It has the dorsal stomata much 

 elevated, and the yellow median fascia is extended to the face, and is there 

 bounded on each side by a narrow black line. The legs are yellowish orange, 

 but the annuli have almost disappeared in this specimen, which is preserved in 

 spirit.
