sind sehr groß und an der Basis eine ganze Strecke bis zur Berührung einander genähert. 

 Auch die Parameren sind auffallend groß und ragen weit über die Gonocoxite hervor. • — 

 Diese letzteren Momente würden für eine Zugehörigkeit zur Gattung Lcpisma oder we- 

 nigstens für eine nahe Verwandtschaft mit dieser sprechen.

„The abdomen was filled with somc bright green substance, which was emitted from 

 the mouth when touched — apparently green paint nibbed äff the shutters. 



„The most nearly allied species to this which J have seen was obtained in Socotra 

 and is now in the British Museum. The breadth of the thorax is greater than in L. saccha- 

 rina, but the head is not concealed as in some species."

,,In rotten wood and under stones in the Sapate and the base of the Peak. It also 

 occured on the mainland at Pernambuco in similar localities. 



„The Chief peculiarity of this Lepisma is its very rounded back, resembling that of a 

 Machilis rather than that of a typical Lepisma. It is a small active species occuring singly.
