A PAPER in which the 12 known species of the milliped order 

 Colobognatha in the United States were alhided to in descriptions, 

 keys, or diagnoses appeared in 1928.^ Since then three additional 

 species of the order have been discovered, and although one of them 

 was found in an unrecorded locality in Lower California, all its 

 close relatives are members of our fauna, and there is possibility of 

 its range extending into the United States in the southern California 

 mountains adjacent to the Mexican Boundary. This species and 

 another new one from Tennessee belong in the genus Brachycyhe, 

 and they double the number of species it contains. The third species 

 is from near Brownsville, Tex., and extends the tropical genus 

 Siplionophora within our borders. Descriptions of these new species 

 and several new locality records of previously known forms are 

 herein presented. The type specimens of the new species are in the 

 United States National Museum.
