1920] Chamberlin — Two New Schendyloid Chilopnds from Guatemala 65 



Schendylellus gen. no v. 



Median arc of labrum armed with strongly chitinous true teeth 

 with distinct roots. 



Claw of palpi of second maxillae abortive, in the genotj^je ap- 

 pearing only as an extremely minute rudiment or point. 



Ventral pores present on sternites, these arranged in a narrow 

 transverse band across plate at level of major setae. 



Coxopleurse of pregenital segment each with two homogeneous 

 glands. 



Genotype, — S. hodites, sp. nov. 



This genus is obviously close to Schendyla, but differs in the 

 abortive claw of the palpi of the second maxillse and in the arrange- 

 ment of the ventral pores, these in Schendyla forming a median 

 area as long as or longer than wide and commonly quadrate or 

 sub-circular in outline. 



Schendylellus hodites sp. nov. 



General color pale fulvous, head and prehensors dilute orange. 



Head widest toward posterior end, narrowing forward, the 

 anterior and posterior margins truncate. Prebasal plate not 

 exposed. 



Antennae filiform, the last four articles preceding the ultimate in 

 the type much shortened, the last three of these about equalling 

 the ultimate in length. 



Median arc of labrum with ten, not crowded, teeth, or near that 

 number. 



Claws of prehensors when closed a little surpassing the anterior 

 margin of head but not attaining the distal end of first antennal 

 article. Prehensors in dorsal view also a little exposed toward 

 base. Claw armed at base with a very small but distinct tooth, 

 the other joints unarmed. Anterior margin of prosternum un- 

 armed, smooth. 



First legs a little shorter and more slender than the second, the 

 others of nearly uniform length and thickness to the penult inclusive. 



Ventral pores beginning on the first sternite and present on all 

 to the thirty-fourth segment, i. e., to the penult pediferous. On 

 the first plate they are few, only about six in number, these being 

 in an irregular transverse row at middle of plate. On the succeeding 

 sternites the pores are more numerous and form a narrow trans- 

 verse band extending on each side well toward the lateral margin
