Locality: Bermuda (J. H. Comstock, 1903, one male, type, 

 author's coll., A. E. Verrill, 1901, one male, paratype, U. S. 

 N. M.) 



This species falls in a group with the European /. luscus 

 Meinert, /. londinensis Leach, /. britannicus Verhoeff, etc. 



Julus nesophilus sp. nov. 



Body in general fuscous, annulate with pale. CoUum with a dark 

 band behind a pale anterior border, elsewhere areolate with light. 

 Head with a dark band across and between eyes, the vertex with 

 numerous small light dots in a darker network. Body glabrous. 



Head with no setigerous foveolas on vertex. The usual four foveolae 

 on clypeus. Antennae slender and rather shorter than the width of the 

 body. Eyes black, transversely and rather narrowly elliptic. Ocelli 

 about forty-eight in near ten oblique series, e. g., 2, 4, 5, 6, 6, 6, 7, 6, 4, 2. 



Collum exceeded by the second segment, at sides rather widely 

 rounded; marked below on each side with three distinct striae of which 

 the second continues along anterior border as the margining sulcus; 

 above these the caudal border is crossed by a number of shorter strise, 

 the series extending entirely across plate. 



Second segment on each side a little extended forward beneath the 

 collum; strongly striate beneath and part way up the sides, weaker 

 striae also existing entirely across dorsum. On third and fourth segments 

 the striae are a little deeper and on subsequent ones strongly marked 

 entirely about the metazonites, the prozonites remaining smooth. The 

 striae extend to or nearly to the caudal edge, the smooth border, where 

 at all evident, being very narrow. Each repugnatorial pore on the 

 anterior and median segments lies immediately in front of the general 

 level of the segmental suture, but the latter curves forward about it, 

 embracing it closely, excepting on the caudal side. In the more caudal 

 segments the pore is relatively farther caudad and the suture curves 

 more and more gently, becoming more open and not embracing the 

 pore. 



Anal tergite not at all caudate or produced, posteriorly obtusely 

 subangulate; a little exceeded by the valves. Mesal borders of anal 

 valves moderately protruding, but not distinctly margined. Anal 

 scale subtriangular, narrowly rounded behind, smooth. 



Number of segments ( 9 ), forty-two. 



Length, 23 mm. ; width, 2.4 mm. ; ' 



Locality: Harrington Sound. One female (R. W. Glaser).

I have been unable to identify this with any European or 

 North American species. In the absence of knowledge of the 

 male, however, nothing can be safely asserted as to its more 

 immediate affinities.
