52 NEW DIPLOPODA OF THE GENUS OXYDE SMUS-COOE. vol.xv iii. 



The shorter carina are also more distant from each other, and this, 

 with the slight actual difference in length, makes the present species 

 appear more slender. The differences in color, especially of the legs 

 and antennae, are striking, while the shape of the last segment and pre- 

 anal scale are uniaue and diagnostic. The differences are thus along 

 lines which in other species do not appear subject to much variation, 

 though their constancy in the present case must be shown by fnrther 

 collection.
