MILLIPEDS — KEETON 39 



Male gonopods of medium size (about 1.8 mm. in telopodite arc 

 length and 1.8 mm. in arc width); cm-ved anteriomesiad ; distal end of 

 telopodite bearing a well-developed, dorsally directed, pectinate sole- 

 nomerite; postcingular portion of telopodite very short, thickened; 

 precingular portion much longer than postcingular portion. Prefem- 

 oral spine reduced to a small nub. 



Color according to Causey: "the dorsmn is shining dark brown; 

 head and antennae brown; ends of coUum, posterior angles of keels, 

 rouglily triangular areas on tergites or borders of tergites and coUum 

 red-orange; distal half of legs red-orange; underparts and proximal 

 half of legs pale yellow. In alcohol dorsum fades to brown and keels 

 and legs to yellow." 



Type locality: Cumberland Falls State Park, Cumberland 

 County, Ky. Known only from the type locality. 



Type specimen: In Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia. 



Discussion: B. kentuckiana resembles both calceata and laminata 

 in some respects and it is possible that more extensive collecting will 

 reveal that the three are only subspecifically distinct. 



In the drawings of the gonopods (fig. 6) no coxal apodeme is shown 

 as this has been broken off the type specimen.

Diagnosis : Distinguished from aU other species of the genus except 

 hoj^mani by the presence of a thin terminal plate on the telopodite of 

 the male gonopod {calceata shows much the same shaped distal end 

 of the telopodite but the analogous structure is not plate-like and is 

 not as distinct from the main portion of the telopodite). Differs from 

 hofmani in that the postcingular portion of the telopodite is very 

 short, and in the shape of the terminal plate. 



Description: Length of male holotype, 46 mm.; width, 11 mm.; 

 length of male paratype, 42 mm.; mdth, 10.5 mm.; length of female 

 allotype, 48 mm.; width, 11.5 mm. 



Cephalic edge of collum irregular in its curvature, curving gently 

 laterocaudad from midpoint to base of paranota, then swinging 

 slightly forward, then more laterocaudad in a gentle arc; paranotal 

 swellings absent; weak but noticeable ridges on cephalic margins of 

 paranota; ends of paranota rounded. 



Paranotal swellings absent from 2d segment, weakly present on 3d 

 and succeeding segments. Paranota of midbody segments, including 

 9th, square; paranota of segments 16-18 bluntly triangular. 



Sternum of 3d pair of legs with usual processes; sterna of 4th and 5th 

 legs each with pair of processes; sternum of 6th legs smooth.
