Mr. Newport oh tltc Class Mvriapoda, Order ( hilopoda. X>7 



I have some hesitation in naming this species, which may be the (trnnitin 

 longipes of Lamarck, as the relative proportions of the body, antenna' ami 

 posterior legs agree with those given by Mr. Tcmplefon. who however hai 

 assigned no other characters by which the speciefl might he determined.

This specimen was found in the same bottle with ('. hngihusu, of which 

 I was at first disposed to regard it as the other sex : but on closer examina- 

 tion it presented some marked differences. Thus, in addition to the cha- 

 racters above given, the dorsal plates are more rugose, and the spinous 

 tuberosities larger and more thickly placed ; and the marginal spinel are 

 larger, stronger, and more uniform in size. The antennae are one-half longer 

 than the body. The legs are roughened, and covered wtth fine hairs j the 

 emargination of the dorsal plates is deep and blackened ; and there are 

 three blackish patches at the posterior part of the head. I am unable to give 

 the length of the posterior pair of legs or of their metatarsi, as the specimen 

 had lost these parts, and have therefore taken the relative lengths of the 

 joints from the twelfth pair. These characters seem sufficient to distinguish 

 this as a species.

Latreille (in £ Nouv. Diet.' xxx. 447) has mentioned the existence of a spe- 

 cies of Scutigera from New Holland, but has not named it, or given any 

 description of it. I propose therefore to name this species in honour of that 

 distinguished naturalist. The antennoe and posterior pair of legs of this beau- 

 tiful species are wanting in Mr. Hope's specimen.
