336 MYKIAI'ODA FROM CUBA. 



3. Paradesmus poeyi B illman. Slrongylasoma poeyi Bollman, Ent. Amor., 82, 1887 



uba). 



Abundant. 



Through a inisuuderstauding of the description of Paradesmus I 

 placed this species in Strong ylasoma, and did not discover my mistake 

 until after the description of the above species had been published. 



This species should now be placed in the genus Paradesmus. It is 

 very closely related to, if not identical with P. vicarius Karsch, from 

 Mayotti and Anjaani. 



The copulation loot of the males of poeyi differs from that of vicarkis t 

 as figured by Karsch, in liaving the femoral part twice as long as the 

 tibial, and the lower lobe of the tibial part is wide and thin, with a 

 distinct median thickening, not cylindrical as in vicarius. 



4. Leptodesmus couloni. Polydesmus ( Oxyurus) couloni Humbert & Saussure, Myr- 



nuva araer., 3, L869 I ( 'itba . 



Among the material sent by Poey is a dried female, which agrees per- 

 fectly with the descriptions of the above species. 



5. Stenonia maculata, *p. nov. 



Diagnosis. — Related to Stenonia fimbriatus (Peters), but at once sep- 

 arated by the tuberculation of the dorsal plates, by the crenulation of 

 lateral carinas, by the character of anal segment and the pattern of col- 

 oration. 



The following is a careful description of the species. Rosy, especially 

 the tubercles; nearly all the repugnatorial pore bearing segments with 

 a dark blotch on each side above the carinas ; antennas dark, legs pale. 

 Body wide, convex, not attenuated anteriorly, slightly posteriorly An- 

 tenna' short, subclavate. First segment very wide, completely con- 

 cealing the head as in fimbriatus; a row of small scales along the pos- 

 terior margin ; two large median scales ; along anterior margin a row of 

 twelve rectangular scales, between the third and fourth from posterior 

 angle a distinct notch, between the others a slight waviness. Othef" seg- 

 ments with three distinct rows of scales with smaller ones interspersed ; 

 lateral carina 1 crenulate the first six, the eighth, eleventh and four- 

 teenth, with two crenulations, the rest with three; a distinct median 

 dorsal line. Anal segment with six tubercles along posterior margin; 

 preanal scale obtuse, with two long slender spines. 



Length: $ i)" ,,n , 2 12.5 mm ; width, $ 2.2 mni , 9 2.8""". 



This new species belongs to the subgenus Stenonia { — Platyrhacm.) 



Among the material sent by Professor Poey is a dried male and 

 female of this species. 



6. Rhacophorus magims, sp. uov. 



Diagnosis. — Belated to B. marantus (Karsch), but with an indistinct 

 row of tubercles along anterior and posterior margins of segments, and 

 a few on lateral carinas.
