The description given by M. Brandt of S. cingulata very correctly agrees 

 with a specimen of this Myriapod from Sicily in Mr. Hope's collection, and 

 with others from Asia Minor in that of the British Museum. It agrees also, 

 in the number of joints to the antennae, with the S. morsitans of M. Gervais. 

 But as it is doubtful whether other specimens from Corfu, and a species from 

 E 87Pt 3 figured by Savigny, are distinct, although closely resembling S. cingu- 

 lata, I have determined to retain them apart from it at present, but with some 

 expression of doubt.

This species varies from the true S. cingulata in the usual number of joints 

 to the antennae, of which there are nineteen in each of five specimens in the 

 Museum collection, and also in the number of teeth and the margins of the 

 posterior legs. 



22. Scol. audax, Gerv. in Ann. Sci. Nat. Janv. 1837. sp. 4. 



I am unacquainted with this species, but from the description given of it I 

 presume it to be distinct.
