1920] Chamberlin: Myriopod Fauna of Bermuda 277 



Locality : Bermuda. Point Shares. Several specimens taken 

 under rotten wood (Bermuda Biol. Sta. for Research, W. L. 

 Crozier coll., 5 Oct., 1917). In M. C. Z. coll. 



No adult male is represented, so the reference to Microspiro- 

 bolus is in some degree tentative. It seems to conform so far as 

 may be judged from females, which much resemble those of West 

 Indian species. 



STRONGYLOSOMID.E. 



Strongylosoma guerinii (Gervais). 



Polydesmus Guerinii, Ann. Soc. Ent. France, 1836, p. 686. 



Strongylosoma Guerinii Gervais, 0ns. Apt., 1847, 4, p. 116. 



Strongylosoma Guerinii Pocock, Ann. and Mag. Nat. Hist., 1893, ser. 6, 11, p. 116. 



In the collection of the U. S. Nat. Mus. is a female of this 

 species taken on Bermuda by G. B. Goode. It was also in 

 material collected on the islands by the Challenger Exped. 

 (Pocock, Op. cit.) This species is common on the eastern 

 side of the Atlantic in the Azores, Madeira, Spain, Portugal, 

 Teneriffe, Algeria, Trmis, and Kameroon. 



Orthomorpha coarctata (Saussure). 



Polydesmus coarctatus Saussure, Mem. Soc. phys. Geneve, 1860, p. 39, fig. 18. 

 Strongylosoma coarctatum Pocock, Ann. and Mag. Nat. Hist., 1893, ser. 6, p. 123. 



This species now has a tropicopolitan distribution and is one 

 of the millipedes most frequently met with on tropical islands 

 everywhere. Pocock records it from Bermuda (Op. cit.), and I 

 have examined two specimens from the Bermuda Biological 

 Station for Research, collected by W. L. Crozier at Point Shares, 

 5 Oct., 1917, where they were found under rotten wood. 



Chilopoda. 

 scolopendrid^. 



Scolopendra subspinipes Leach. 



Trans. Linn. Soc, London, 1814, 11, p. 383. 



Scolopendra subspinipes Pocock, Ann. and Mag. Nat. Hist., 1893, ser. 6, 11, p. 123. 



This large centipede is found commonly throughout the 

 warmer parts of the earth, excepting the Mediterreanean region. 

 Its centre of distribution, however, would seem undoubtedly 

 to be the East Indian region, where it is most abundant and 

 presents its greatest variations.
