GEOPHILOIDEA. 



SCHENDYLIDAE. 



Of this family, the largest of the Geophiloidea in the known fauna, 

 three genera are found in Brazil, Schendylurus, Adenoschendyla, and 

 Thalthybius (Ballophilini). 



Schendylurus Silvestri. 



Mitth. Naturh. mus. Hamburg, 1907, 24, p. 245; Brolemann et Ribaut, Bull, 

 soc. ent. France, 1911, p. 192; Arch. Mus. hist, nat., 1912, ser. 5, 4, p. 113. 

 Schendyla Brolemann (ad. part, max.), Cat. Myr. Bresil, 1909, p. 6. 



The Brazilian species known may be separated by means of the key. 

 Schendylurus brasilianus Silvestri, probably belonging to this genus, 

 is not taken up, the published description being too meager to furnish 

 sufficient information.
