416 Records of the Indian Museum. [Vor VIT, 
the posterior segments being better developed than those further 
forwards; strong marginal ridges present on the twenty-first 
segment only. Ventral surface paler than dorsal. Sternocoxal 
plate armed on each side with five teeth of which the three inner- 
most are very close together, the fourth distinctly separated from 
the third, and the fifth somewhat more distant from the fourth, 
behind these teeth the defining lines meet in an angle of about 
120°; sterna of body segments not grooved except the last of them 
which is vaguely grooved behind in the middle line; this last 
sternum is nearly as broad in front as it is long, narrower behind, 
with its posterior margin very broadly V-shaped, forming a distinct 
right angle with the oblique lateral margins on each side. Pseudo- 
pleural processes bluntly conical, with a pair of terminal teeth, 
without dorsal teeth, and with a minute side tooth on one side 
only in my one specimen. First pair of legs armed with I 
(ventral) claw spurand 1 (anterior) tarsal spur; second, third and 
fourth pair with 1 (anterior) tibial spur, 2 tarsal and 2 claw spurs, 
fifth to eighteen pairs with 2 tarsal and 2 claw spurs, nineteenth 
with 1 tarsal and 2 claw spurs, twentieth with 2 claw spurs only; 
anal legs also with 2 claw spurs only, femora armed only with a 
single minute tooth on the (outer ?) side. 
This species is very neat R. brasiliensis, Kraepelin, but differs 
in that the grooves behind the teeth of the sternocoxal plate meet 
not in a straight line but in an angle of about 120°. 
Subfamily SCOLOPENDRINAE. 
Genus Pseudocryptops, Poc. 
Members of this genus, which has hitherto been recorded 
only from Perim Island, can be recognized at sight by their short 
stumpy antennae and enormously thick anal legs. 
P, agharkari, n. sp. 
This sluggish little centipede is not uncommon under stones 
in jungle at Taloshi and Helvak in the Koyna Valley of the W. 
Ghats, Satara Dist., Bombay Presidency, at an altitude about 2000 
feet. 
Description.—Length up to 29 mm. Antennae 17-18-jointed. 
Colour dark reddish purple in life, various paler shades of greyish 
or brownish tints in spirit. Head rounded in front, more or less 
broadly grooved in the middle line in front, not produced. First 
segment vaguely grooved in the middle line, segments 2-4 usually 
with more or less incomplete, 5-20 with complete and very 
strongly marked pair of longitudinal grooves, but without marginal 
grooves or ridges; anal segment very short, grooved in the middle 
line, marginal ridges present, posterior margin convex. Sterno- 
coxal plate armed with three teeth on each side of the middle line 
which is strongly grooved. Sterna of segments 2-20 marked
