MILLIPEDS — KEETON 33 



Description: Length of male liolotype, 43 mm.; width, 10.5 mm.; 

 length of male paratype, 41.5 mm.; width, 10 mm.; length of female, 

 47 mm.; width, 11.5 mm. 



CoUum ellipsoidal, ends of paranota narrowly rounded; pai'anotal 

 swellings weak; strong ridges along cephalic edges of paranota. 



Paranotal sw^ellings present but weak on segments 2 and 3, stronger 

 on succeeding segments. Paranota of midbody segments, including 

 9th, rather square. Paranota of segments 16-18 bluntly triangular. 



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

 with pair of small processes; sterna of 5th and 6th legs without 

 processes. 



Coxal armatm'e strong. 



Male goiiopods large (about 2.36 mm. in telopodite arc length and 

 2.22 mm. in arc width) ; curved cephalomesiad, then mesiad in a 

 smooth arc, beyond this point bent abruptly cephalolaterad, terminal 

 plate directed laterodorsad for a very short distance, then directly 

 dorsad, its distal end bent abruptly caudad; postcingular portion of 

 telopodite very complex and heavy, inner side with several prominent 

 ridges, a thin terminal plate on distal end, this plate longer than broad; 

 cingulum very prominent, located at point on arc most remote from 

 body; precingular portion ot telopodite longer than postcingular 

 portion. Prefemoral spine very long. 



Color somewhat faded but indicates dark brown dorsum with light 

 paranota and a light band across caudal border of each tergite. 



Type locality: Vansant, Buchanan County, Va. ICnown only 

 from the type locality. 



Type Specimens: Collected by R. L. Hoffman and W. B. Newman, 

 July 2, 1951. Male holotype, male paratype, and female allotype 

 in the U. S. National Museum. 



Discussion: Brachoria hqffmani is a species with exceedingly com- 

 plicated gonopods. The postcingular portion of the telopodite is 

 rather Tucoria-like except in its length while in other respects, partic- 

 ularly the very strongly developed prefemoral spine, the gonopod 

 resembles the old conception of Brachoria. 



I take great pleasure in naming this species for my very good 

 friend Richard L. Hoffman whose constant help and guidance have 

 made this paper possible.

 hansonia and separanda by the size and completely simple form of the
