MILLIPEDS — KEETON 31 



been found to be very different from those in the surrounding areas. 

 Hoffman and Kleinpeter (1949) and Hoffman (1955) have studied the 

 herpetological fauna of Burkes Garden in recent years and some of 

 their findings are very striking. It is not unexpected, then, that the 

 diplopod fauna of the region should also be distinctive. More exten- 

 sive collecting will doubtless reveal many more facts of interest to 

 students of millipeds. 



The specific name refers to the hooldike development of the male 

 gonopods. 



Brachoria Jiansonia Causey 



Figure 5a-c 

 Brachoria hansonia Causey, Ent. News, vol. 61, pp. 6, 7, fig. 1, 1950. 



Diagnosis: Distinguished from all other species of the genus 

 except separanda and hubrichti by the completely simple form and 

 large size of the telopodite of the male gonopods. Differs from 

 separanda in not havmg an enlargement of the telopodite just distal 

 to the cingulum and in the smooth curve of the telopodite arc with 

 no abrupt bends. Differs from hubrichti in the more slender form 

 of the telopodite and in the acuminate distal end. 



Description: Length of holotype, 49 mm.; width, 11 mm.; length 

 of females, 51 mm.; width, 11 mm. 



Midbody paranota, including those of 9th segment, rather square. 

 Paranota of segments 17 and 18 not very sharply triangular. 



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

 and 5th legs with well-developed processes; sternum of 6th legs smooth. 



Male gonopods rather large (about 2.6 mm. in telopodite arc length 

 and 1.9 mm. in arc width); completely simple; curving mesiad, then 

 dorsad, the tip laterad, all in a continuous smooth arc; cingulum 

 located just distal to point of initial mesial curvature; precingular 

 and postcingular portions subequal. Prefemoral spine moderate. 



Color faded. 



Type locality: Kentucky Kidge State Forest, Pineville, Bell 

 County, Ky. Known only from the type locality. 



Type specimen: In Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia. 



Brachoria hqffmani, new species 



Figure 5d-f 



Diagnosis: Distinguished from all other species of the genus 

 except laminata by the presence of a thin terminal plate on the telopo- 

 dite of the male gonopods. Differs from laminata in the much longer 

 postcingular portion of the telopodite, and the shape and complexity 

 of the terminal plate.
