Mr. Newport on the Class Myriapoda, Order Cbitopoda. 367 



This species very much resembles L./orficatui, but is mailer and oi 

 lighter colour. The antennae are very hairy, a ith forty-one joints, some of 

 which are one-hair longer than the others. The great characteristics of i his 



species are the Dumber of the ocelli, the form of the dental plates, and the 



tuberculatum of the prssanal plates, which distinguish it from the British spe- 

 cies. I am not Certain of the normal Dumber of the teeth, since there is 

 only a single specimen of /.. Hardwickei in the British Museum, ami in this 

 the teeth are abnormal, there being only five on one plate and eight on the 

 other.

This specimen is about the size of L.forficatus, and stands beside it in the 

 Linnean cabinet. I believe it to be the L. longicornis of Risso, but have been 

 unable to identify it with the description given by that author, excepting as 

 regards the length of the antenna?. It is a distinctly-marked specie*, of a fer- 

 ruginous colour, and has the fifth dorsal plate narrowed, and longer than in 

 most other species, and the angles of the plates are only slightly produced. 

 The ocelli also are few in number; the labial teeth are black and acute, and 

 the labium is slightly narrowed and punctured. From the length of the an- 

 tennae, the slight development of the angles of the short dorsal plates, and the 

 clustered ocelli, it seems to make a near approach to the Cermtitiifhr.
