MILLIPEDS — KEETON 45 



Paranotal swellings usually absent from 2d segment, weakly present 

 on 3d segment and all succeeding segments. Segment 2 and all 

 succeeding midbody segments with paranota usually broadly rounded. 



Sternum of 3d legs with usual processes; sternum of 4th legs Avith 

 a pair of small processes, sternum of 5th legs usually smooth; sternum 

 of 6th legs smooth, 



Coxal armature usually moderate. 



Gonopod aperture normal. Male gonopods variable in size, from 

 about 1.6 to 2.2 mm. in telopodite arc length and 1.3 to 1.5 mm. in 

 arc width; simple, distally subacuminate ; curving mesiad, then 

 abruptly dorsad, then abruptly laterad; cingulum large and con- 

 spicuous; precingular and postcingular portions of telopodite subequal. 

 Prefemoral spine moderate. 



Color : Dark brown above, paranota and last tergite lemon yellow, 

 a median red spot on posterior margin of all tergites including collum, 

 a median yellow spot on anterior margin of collum, underparts tan, 

 distal joints of legs light pink.

Discussion: In the U. S. National Museum there is a specimen 

 without a collection label that has gonopods very similar to the form 

 typical of Brachoria separanda. This specimen differs, however, in 

 many characters from all other known specimens of separanda. The 

 distal portion of the telopodite of this specimen is extremely slender. 

 Ridges are present on the anterior margins of the paranota of the 

 collum; these are absent in typical separanda. Paranotal swellings 

 are present on the collum and 2d segment while they are absent in 

 these locations in separanda. The 9th paranota are somewhat 

 caudally produced at the caudolateral corners while the paranota of 

 separanda are broadly rounded. The coxal armature is very weak 

 while separanda usually has moderate coxal armature. Weak proc- 

 esses are present on the sternum of the 5th legs while they are absent 

 in typical separanda. Just what designation this specimen should 

 receive, particularly in view of no collection data, is uncertain. For 

 the moment it is considered an atypical specimen of separanda.
