MILLIPEDS — KEETON 11 



mesad almost at right angles; it is densely pilose at base on the mesal side and less 

 strongly so along the edge to near the level where the bend across to the other 

 side begins. The basal process is short, straight and acute and extends obliquely 

 caudomesoventrad to near the tip of the principal process of the opposite gonopod. 



Length of type (male) about 35 mm.; width, 10 mm. 



Locality: Mississippi: Agricultural College. Six specimens collected in the 

 fall of 1916 by J. W. Bailey. 



Since I have not personally examined a specimen of B. ochra ochra 

 and thus am unsure of the details of many characters, no new de- 

 scription of this subspecies is given in the present paper. Chamberlin's 

 original description is quoted above in its entu-ety. 



Type specimen: Male holotype in the private collection of R. V. 

 Chamberlin. Female and immature paratypes in the Museum of 

 Comparative Zoology. 



Type specimen op synonym: Type of Brachoria seguens in the 

 private collection of R. V. Cham.berlin.

Diagnosis: Distinguished from all other species of the genus 

 except electa, indianae, cedra, and separanda by the small size and bulk 

 and simple form of the male gonopods. Differs from electa in lacking 

 a caudally directed twist in the terminal portion of the telopodite, 

 and from indianae, cedra, and separanda in the exceedingly sharp 

 nature of the bend forming a ridge in the postcingular portion of the 

 telopodite. Differs from ochra ochra in the subacuminate distal 

 end of the telopodite. 



Description: Length of holotype, 37 mm.; width, 10.2 mm.; 

 length of other specimens, 30-38 mm.; width, 7-12 mm. 



Tergites somewhat flattened, paranota mde, continuing slope of 

 dorsum; very finely coriaceous; prozonites smooth. Body gently 

 tapering caudad from midbody region to segment 18, then much more 

 abruptly to end of telson. 



Collum sub ellipsoidal, posterior edges of paranota dhected slightly 

 cephalad from their bases, margins onlj^ faintly curved; ends of 

 paranota very narrowly rounded, caudolateral corners of paranota 

 rather sharp; paranoial swellings weaklj^ evident, pronounced ridges 

 extending from them along cephalic margins of paranota to points 

 slightly above^anterior bases of paranota.
