622 NEW SPECIES OF MYRIAPODS. 



ately; femur of anterior legs swollen above; genitalia loosely coiled, 

 expanded at middle third and sliglitly lobcd ; basal spine cylindrical 

 Length of body : S 33""", height 5'""\ width of lirst segment 7.8""", width 

 of tenth 9.5"'"', antenme 7.7""" ; 9 , length of body 3G.8»"», height 6.3'""». 

 width of first segment 8'""', width of tenth 10"'"', antenna 7.1'"'". 



This species is closely allied to the next, but differs very much in 

 (^olor and in the characters of the anterior segments, and male genita- 

 lia. I have seen a male and a female, which were collected by Mr. 

 Charles B. Branner. The female has a browner pattern of coloration 

 and the red is nwt so vivid as in the male. 



8. Fontaria rubromarginata, sj). nov. 



Diaf/nosis. — Very similar to Fontaria erides, but the first three seg- 

 ments of male attenuated; vertex, sulcus deeper; femur more swollen ; 

 anterior border of first and posterior of other segments red. 



Type.— JJ. S. Nat. Museum. 



Ilabitat. — Balsam, Jackson County, N. C. 



This species is closely related to the preceding. It diifers, however, 

 much in color and in the character of male genitalia. As compared 

 with the male of i^. evides the following points may be worthy of note: 



Browner, legs yellow; lateral plates not so sharp; legs of male more 

 crassate; distal fourth of genitalia very much expanded near the end; 

 basal spine stout, lijid; two lateral lobes, the first trifid, the other 

 bifid; length of bod^', 38"^"'; height, 5'^'"'; width of segment, G.S"^""; 

 width of tenth, 10"'™; anteumc, 8.3"'"'. 



The characters of ventral plates and coxa; are the same as in F. evides. 



These notes are based upon a male collected by Prof. George T. At- 

 kinson, which only has the right leg changed into a copulatory organ. 



9. Fontaria montana, sp. nov. * 



Diagnosis. — Similar to Fontaria trimaculata (Wood) but larger, espQc- 

 ially the breadth; dorsal i)lates less convex, lateral carina; larger and 

 more produced; legs of nude less crassate, shining black, yellow spots 

 very distinct, legs light brown. 



Type. — U. S. iS[at. Museum. 



Habitat. — Wolf Creek, Cooke County, Teun. 



This species is very closely related to F. trimacu.ata, as is shown by 

 the coloration and genitalia, but the latter are more strongly coiled and 

 with the basal spine larger. Comparing the males of the two species, 

 it may be said that in F. montana the dilierent parts are larger, but 

 more slender. 



I have examined a male collected by Mr. Charles B. Branuer. This 

 species is the southern representative of F. trimacidatay but it is not 

 probable that they will merge into one as the characters of the male 

 genitalia are too much unlike.
