MYRIOPODA FllOM BURMA 813 



Legs moderately long slender ; tlie proportional length of the 

 segments varying a little, the femora at the anterior end of the 

 body being about twice the length of the trochanters or tibiae, 

 but at the posterior end (cf. fig. 13), the trochanter is about 

 twice as long as the coxa, a little longer than the patella, about 

 the same length as the tibia, half the length of the tarsus and 

 one third of the length of the femur; the legs are studded with 

 short white hairs, especially on the tarsi which have a conspi- 

 cuous claw. 



Length about 40 mm. ; width 4.5. 



cT. Narrower tlian 9 and a little flatter, keels better deve- 

 loped, legs longer ; the anterior legs unmodified except for a 

 small pad of short hairs on the tarsi of those in front of the 

 copulatory organ ; a low median semicircular prominence on the 

 sternum of the 5"". Copulatonj feel shortish , strongly arched , 

 with bases in contact and apices crossing but widely separated 

 in the middle. 



Length 35 ; width 4 mm. 



Loc. Rangoon (Types), Tharrawaddy obtained by E. W. Gates; 

 Palon in Pegu and Thigian, upper Irrawaddy (Sig. L. Fea). 



21. Ovtlaonfliorplia, melanopleixris, sp. n. 



9 . Very closely allied to miranda; practically the only colour 

 difference lies in the fact that the lateral surface of the segments 

 down to the legs is blackish brown, instead of clear yellow in 

 its lower two thirds; and the keel of the P' is more noticeably 

 yellow. But the keels themselves are a little more prominent, 

 and with thicker margins. 



Length 30 mm. ; width 3.8. 



Loc. Teinzo on the Moolay River (Fea coll.). 



A c/ example from Minhla (Comotto coll.) which at all events 

 provisionally I refer to this species, has the copulatory feet a little 

 longer than in miranda. 



Length 29 mm.; width 3+.
