 of head. Epimera perfectly united with segments. All six 

 abdominal segments distinct, first two with lateral parts con- 

 cealed by seventh thoracic segment. Third, fourth and fifth 

 abdominal segments with lateral portions produced to continue 

 oval contour of body. Sixth or terminal segment is broader than

 poda with basal segment reaching tip of hind angles of lateral 

 parts of fifth abdominal segment. Inner ramus of uropoda partly 

 concealed above by apical process of sixth abdominal segment, 

 and extending half its own length beyond latter. Outer rami 

 of uropoda extend almost their entire length beyond apical pro-

Remarks. — World-wide in distribution. It lives in similar 

 locations to that of the preceding species, as cellars, under logs 

 and stones, etc. It is said to be injurious to cotton and sugar 

 beets. Also like the preceding species it has been described 

 imder numerous different specific names, from different parts of 

 the world. I have an example from South Summerville.
