 Family CHILENOPHILIDAE. 



This group is used to include all genera formerly embraced in the 

 Geophilidae which have a coxopleural suture present and conspicu- 

 ously chitinized in the second maxillae. While in some genera of 

 the group the coxae of the second maxillae are but weakly united 

 with each other, this character shows considerable variation and 

 does not hold for most of the West Indian and Central American 

 forms placed here by the author. Because of indications of transi- 

 tion the group may ultimately prove untenable ; but pending further 

 extension of our knowledge it is retained for its obvious convenience. 



SUTURODES, new genus. 



Head without frontal suture or this but vaguely indicated. An- 

 tennae short, filiform. Basal plate wide, trapeziform, overlapped by
