MYRIOPODA FROM HURMA 831 



and slightly forwardly directed prominence on the sternum of 

 the fifth somite. Copulatory feet very like those of the preceding 

 and of the following species, short, straight, subcylindrical, ter- 

 minated by two processes, an outer and upper, slender, curved 

 downwards and styliform and an inner and lower, irregularly 

 laminate, and directed upwards. 



Length up to 22 mm. 



Loo. Rangoon (Gates) ; Pegu (Taikkyii and Palon) (Fea). 



Resembles the preceding in being furnished with tubercles 

 but differs in having the keels directed obliquely upwards and 

 backwards as in Rachidomorpha. 



39. F*i'ioiiopeltis cervinns, sp. n. 



(Fig. 23-23a). 



c/. Colour mostly piceous, keels and legs testaceous or ochra- 

 ceous, antennae black. 



Antennae enormously long, reaching past the 7"' segment. 

 1''^ tergite with a slender well- developed , nearly horizontal 

 keel, with a convex antero-lateral border, a concave postero- 

 lateral border and produced dentate hinder angle. Keels of the 

 rest of the segments situated high on the sides, slender, long, 

 cornuate as in Rachidomorpha; the antero-external border armed 

 with two spines, the posterior of which marks the foramen 

 repugnatorium. Upper surface of segments finely granular and 

 transversely sulcate, a row of four tubercles running along in 

 front of the hinder border; two tubercles transversely set in 

 the area in front of the sulcus; there are four tubercles, how- 

 ever, in this position on the second, third and fourth segments; 

 at the hinder end of the body the tubercles are nearly obsolete. 

 Lateral surface finely granular, without inferior keels. 



Legs very long. 



Sternum of the fifth somite furnished with an erect subbifid 

 prominence; femoral segment of the posterior legs of this somite 

 and of the anterior lee-s of the sixth much swollen in fhe middle.
