narum is distinctly shown by the male copulation foot, the size and 

 color of body, and its habitat. 



My largest specimen— a male— is 30 mm long and 2.2 mm wide, 



19. Leptodesmus placidus (Wood). 



Mr. Mottier has sent me two specimens of this rare species from Bos- 

 well, Benton Comity. 



20. Foutaria virginiensis (Drnry). 



Common : Bloomingtou ; Boswell ; Westfield ; Terre Haute ; Conners- 

 \ -ill** ; Brookville. This is the species described from Brookville by Mr. 

 McNeill under the name of Polydesmus butleri.* 



21. Fontaria coriacea Koch. 



Polydesmus corrugatus Wood, Proceed. Acad. Nat. Sci. Phila., 6, 1864 {Michigan, 



AVtr York). 



Common: Bloomingtou; Boswell; Kokomo; Wyandotte. 



A comparison of specimens of corrugata Wood with Koch's figures and 

 descriptions of coriacea shows that they are the same. Koch's figures 

 show a broad yellow band along the posterior margin of each segment. 

 This is a character common to the eastern specimens, but rare in the 

 western forms. 



22. Fontaria indianae, sp. riov. 



Diagnosis: Related to Fontaria coriacea Koch, but the copulation foot 

 expanded near the middle, end angularly bent inwards, basal spine 

 bifid; lateral carina* more rounded; legs of male stouter; segments 

 always margined posteriorly with yellow. 



Habitat : Hagerstown and Brookville. 



Types: U. S. National Museum (Brookville and Hagerstown). No.

 tion (Brookville). No. 253, authors collection (Hagerstown).

F.C.Test 



This species is described from ten specimens, four females aud three 

 males from Brookville, Franklin County, and three females from Hagers- 

 town, Wayne County. It agrees with the eastern specimens of coriacea 

 in having a broad yellow band along the posterior margin of each 

 segment, but the shape of the male copulation foot, especially the bifid 

 character of the basal spine, will serve to distinguish it from coriacea.

 Tnd).
