MILLIPEDS — KEETON 21 



Resembles B. ochra initialis in all but the characteristics mentioned 

 below. 



Ends of paranota of colliim not as narrowly rounded; paranotal 

 swellings very weak; ridges on anterior edges of paranota not so 

 strongly developed. 



Paranota of 2d and all succeeding segments more rounded; caudo- 

 lateral corners of 9th paranota only very slightly produced caudad or 

 not at all; paranota of segments 17 and 18 not so sharply triangular. 



Sternum between 4th legs with pair of small but distinct processes; 

 sternum of 5th legs with pair of weak, indistinct processes; sternum 

 of 6th legs with no processes. 



Coxal armatiu-e well developed. 



Gonopods small (about 1.74 mm. in telopodite arc length and 1.19 

 mm. in arc width) ; curved mesiad, then twisted abruptly caudad, 

 then curving dorsad, tip subacuminate ; cingidmn located at point of 

 strongest mesial cm-vature ; precingular portion somewhat longer than 

 postcingular portion. Preformal spine moderately strong. Cypho- 

 pods like those of initialis. 



Color faded in all specimens but some evidence that pattern was 

 either of trimaculate type or banded type. 



Type locality: Tyrone, Anderson County, Ky. 



Type specimen : In American Museum of Natm-al History. 



New distribution record:

 town, May 1, 1954 (1 cf , 1 ?), Hubricht. 



Discussion: This species resembles very closely Brachoria ochra 

 initialis, the type of the genus. The two forms agree closely in general 

 body form, differing only in the extent to which the caudolateral 

 corners of the paranota are produced caudad. The male gonopods 

 are strikingly similar in both size and form, the primary difference 

 being the presence of a caudally du-ected twist just beyond the mid- 

 point of the postcingular portion of the telepodite of the gonopod of 

 B. electa. This twist is not present in B. ochra initialis. 



The differences between B. electa and B. ochra initialis are so slight 

 that it is possible that B. electa eventually will be shown to be a sub- 

 species of B. ochra. The two forms are being left separate, however, 

 until such time as further collecting reveals the true situation.

Diagnosis: Distinguished from all other species of the genus except 

 hansonia, plecta, and separanda by the medium size, and slender, 

 simple form of the gonopods. Differs from hansonia and separanda 

 in that the extreme distal end of the telopodite of the gonopod is
