This species is described from one male and one female, both in a 

 rather bad condition. 1 have named this species after its collector— Dr. 

 Felipe Poey, — who also sent me in the same collection Orphceneus brazi- 

 liensis, Mecistocephalus guildingis, Scolopeydra alternans and Newpartia 

 longitarsis. 



3. Geophilus salemensis sp. nov. 



Frontal plate present ; anal pores moderate. Light red, head, antennae, last 

 segment and feet orange. Robust, slightly attenuated anteriorly, more strongly 

 posteriorly, moderately smooth, sparsely punctate and pilose. Prehensorial feet 

 punctate and pilose ; sternum wider than long (8.6), anterior margin not produced ; 

 coxa? scarcely longer than wide (3,5:3), unarmed; one small tooth. Cephalic plate 

 longer than wide (7:5,5), suboval, sparsely punctate and pilose; prebasal plate ex- 

 posed ; basal plate about three times wider than long. Antennae moderate, joints

 bisulcate ; anterior predorsal plates equal to posterior, median longest ; ventral plates 

 with a median foveolse, sparsely punctate. Spiracles round, anterior large, median 

 and posterior small. First pair of feet moderately short and Slender, anterior and
