Telson (fig. 12), posterior margin almost straight and broader than 
the length, sides curved, anterior portion expanded, convex

ly with few lateral irregular yellowish markings, yellowish below 
the indentations. 
Habitat.—Under stones, Kamalapuram, S. India, 6-ix-1912.

Type.—In the collection of the Indian Museum. 
There are a number of important characters in this species by 
which it differs from any other members of the genus, amongst 
these may be mentioned the dorsal position of the eyes and the 
very feeble development of the lateral lobes of the cephalon, the 
short, thick-jointed antennae, the broad maxillipedes, the truncate 
lateral plates of the 5th—7th mesosomatic segments, and the form 
of the uropoda. 
Genus Burmoniscus, Clige. 
Hitherto this genus has been known only from the two 
examples of B. moulmeinus, Clige.,! obtained by Mr. F. H. Gravely, 
from the Farm Caves, near Moulmein. 
With so limited a supply of material the description of the 
genus was perforce somewhat imperfect, and I am now able to 
give a fuller diagnosis, and at the same time add an additional 
species to the genus. 
B. moulmeinus, and Philoscia coeca, Budde-Tund’, have hitherto 
been the only cavernicolous species of Terrestrial Isopoda known 
from India, indeed only very few have been described from Asia. 
Ridley? mentions Armadillo intermixtus, Budde-I,und, as being 
common on the walls of caves in the Malay Peninsula, and Budde- 
Lund* describes with that species A. nigromarginatus from the 
same locality. He has also described’ an Armadillo infuscatus 
from the same source. 
In all probability there are a considerable number of species 
awaiting discovery, especially belonging .to the genus Cubaris. 
Just as in Europe we have a large Isopodean cave fauna® belonging 
to the Trichoniscidae, so, I think, we shall find a similar one in 
India referable to the Cubaridae.
