18 PROCEEDINGS OF THE NATIONAL MXTSEUM vol. 109 



Male gonopods rather small (about 1.78 mm. in telopodite arc 

 length and 1.20 mm. in arc width); simple in form; curving mesiad, 

 then rather abruptly dorsad; telopodite narrowing abruptly at latter 

 bend forming slender solenomerite which comes to acute point; 

 prominent shoulder on caudal side of telopodite at point of abrupt 

 narrowing; precingular portion of telopodite longer than postcingular 

 portion. Prefemoral spine moderate. 



Color faded, indicates a possible trimaculate pattern. 



Type locality: Cedar glades near Jonesville, Lee County, Va. 

 Known only from the type localitj^. 



Type specimen: Collected by Loyd Carr, May 1955. Male holo- 

 type deposited in the U. S. National Museum. 



Discussion: The resemblances between this species and B. ochra 

 are very marked and this form may eventually be shown to be only 

 subspecifically distinct from B. ochra. For the present, however, it 

 seems best to treat the two separately inasmuch as the differences are 

 easily seen and the variation shown by B. ochra throughout its unusu- 

 ally large range is so slight as to make one wonder if it might not 

 eventually be found in its typical form in the area of southwestern 

 Virginia where B. cedra is known to occur. 



Brachoria dentata, new species 



FiGUEE 2d-f 



Diagnosis: Distinguished from all other species of the genus ex- 

 cept insolita by the position of the cingulum on the telopodite of the 

 male gonopod and by the tooth on the postcingular portion. Differs 

 from insolita in that the tooth is on the cephalic side of the telopodite 

 in this species while it is on the caudal side in insolita. The distal 

 portion of the telopodite of dentata does not bend sharply cephalad 

 as does that of insolita. 



Description: Length 40 mm.; width 11 mm. 



Collum ellipsoidal; posterior edges of paranota curving gently 

 cephalad from their bases; ends of paranota not so narrowly rounded; 

 paranotal swellings not noticeable; pronounced ridges extending from 

 ends of paranota along their cephalic margins to points at anterior 

 bases of paranota. 



Caudolateral corners of paranota of 2d and all succeeding segments 

 becoming increasingly squared; those of 9th segment quite square. 

 Paranotal swellings almost lacking on second segment; only weakl}'- 

 present on succeeding segments. 



Processes on sterna of 3d, 4th, and 5th pairs of legs prominent; 

 sternum of 6th legs smooth. 



Coxal armature moderate.
