DESCRIPTIONS OP FOURTEEN NEW SPECIES OF NORTH AMER- 

 ICAN MYRIAPODS. 



Ky CaHARI.ES II. BOIil.MAIV. 



The present paper contains descriptions of fourteen species of myria- 



pods which I believ^e to be new. 

 The types of all have been presented to the D. S. National Museum, 

 I take pleasure in acknowledging my indebtedness for specimens to 



Prof. George F. Atkinson, of the University of South Carolina ; to Ur. 



Richard D. Owen, of New Harmony, Ind. ; to Mr. Charles B. Branner, 



of Mossy Creek, Tenn.j to Mr. and Mrs. Carl H. Eigenmann, of San 



Diego, ('al. ; to Mr. Charles L. Edwards, of Johns Hopkins University ; 



to Mr. James H. Burke, of Ukiah, Cal., and to Mr. Frederick 0. Test, 



of Westfield, Ind. 



1. Parajulus ectenes, sp. uov. 



Diagnosis. — Allied to rarajulus pcnnsijlr aniens (Brandt), but the form 

 of body much more slender, the repugnatorial pore not touching trans- 

 verse suture, which is straight, and the male genitalia entirely different. 



Typc.—lJ. S. Nat. IVIuseum. 



Habitaf.~Cha\)e\ Hill, Orange County, K C. 



Description of type.— Yery dark brown, almost black, light spots more 

 or less confluent and indistinct, joints of antennae tipped with white; 

 legs brown, slender; segments pilose and sulcate, as m pennsylvanicus. 

 Vertex not sulcate, setigerous foveohi3 present. Antenuiii scarcely sub- 

 clavate, longer than width of body. Ocelli distinct, $ 70-9, 5 GO- 8, 

 arranged in a subtrapezoidal patch. Last segment not passing beyond 

 anal valves, which are pilose and not margiuate ; anal scale obtuse- 

 angled. 



Number of segments, $ and 9 (37. 



Pairs of legs of feiuale, 120. 



Length of body : $ 4()""", widrh l.G""", antenna:^, 2.7"""; $ length 54""" 

 width 1.8"'"', antenna) 1.9""". 



I have a single pair of this species, collected by Prof. George F. At- 

 kinson. In the same collection there is a young Farajulus that probably 

 belongs to this species. Thus species differs from any other by the 

 slender body and peculiar form of the male genitalia, which I have not 

 described here, but will do so in a paper relating to the genus. It may 

 be worthy of remark that at present I consider the Julus pilosiscutis of 

 Wood as identical with P. pennsylvanieus (Brandt). His descriptions 

 seem to apply more to the younger stages of the latter, 'concerning 

 the status of Julus montanus Cope, I have regarded it as identical with P. 

 pennsylvanicus, but it may represent a geographical form, as those from 

 farther south have more segments and attain a larger size.
