Sciitig'era, and Holotarsia for the Litliobiid^e, Scolo- 

 pendridte, and GeopliilidfBj appeared modified only in 

 minor particulars. The second^ uniting Sciitigera with 

 Lithobius, to the exclusion of the other two, was founded 

 by Meinert in 1868 ('Nat. IMdskr./ p. 246), who arranged 

 the groups of Chilopoda as follows : — Geophili, Scolopendrse, 

 and Lithobii, the last including the two tribes Lithobiini 

 and Scutigerini. 



Although this system was rejected in 1880 by Latzel 

 ('Die Myr. Osterr.-Uugar. Mon. I'), who allowed the four 

 families instituted by Leach and Newport to stand nnasso- 

 ciated, it was taken up and amplified by Haase, who^ adopting 

 the four families and Meinert's view of the near relation- 

 ship betAveen Scutigera and Lithobius, went a step 

 further and classified the Chilopoda into the Anamorpha 

 and Epimorpha, the first containing the Scutigeridae and 

 Lithobiid?e, the second the Scolopendridas and Geophilidte 

 (' Schles. Chilopoda,' Breslau, 1880, Inaug. -Dissert.). 



This classification of Haase's was adopted unchanged by 

 Meinert ('Trans. Amer. Phil. Soc.,' xxiii, p. 163, 1886), 

 and with certain amplifications by Bollman ('Bull. U.S. Nat. 

 Mus.,' xlvi, p. 163, 1893) and Silvestri (' Ann. Mus.,' Geneva 

 (2), xiv, pp. 622—634, 1895). 



The variation proposed by Bollman consisted in the sub- 

 division of the "order" Anamorpha into two sub-orders, 

 for the first of which, containing the Scutigeridse, he used 

 Brandt^s term Schizotarsia; while for the second, including 

 the Lithobiidse and Cermatobiidee, he introduced the new 

 term " Unguipalpi," in allusion to the presence of a claw 

 upon the palpognaths. 



Silvestri followed Bollman in splitting the Anamorpha, 

 and replaced the Schizotarsia and Unguipalpi with the new 

 names Anartiostigmata and Artiostigmata, to which an 

 ordinal value - was attached. He further divided the 

 Epimorpha into two orders, namely, Oligostigmata for 

 the Scolopendridfe, and Pantastigmata for the Geophilidos. 



Although Haase's classification has the unquestionable
