garis, u. sp., is free-living in Europe at least from Scilla in 

 Calabria, and probably from Catania (Sicily) to Marburg ; 

 in Denmark specimens have been captured in a garden, but 

 not yet in woods. Specimens of Scol. pusilla, n. sp., from 

 Palmi and Marburg have been examined; Scol. uoto- 

 cantha, Gerv., was established on specimens from Paris, 

 and I have seen specimens from Rome and Calabria; Scuti- 

 gerella nivea, Scop., established on specimens from 

 Bohemia, has been met with in Russian Poland (Latzel), and 

 southwards at least to Palmi in Calabria, and probably to 

 Catania. Scolop. antennata, n. sp., has been found in 

 the southern part of Brazils, in Paraguay, and Argen- 

 tina; Scutig. angulosa in Uruguay, and thence to 

 southern Patagonia; Scutig. orientalis, n. sp., in Java, 

 Sumatra, and Siam. The distribution of the other species 

 known to me is considerably more restricted, and needs no 

 special mention. Only Scutig. immaculata (Newp.) is an 

 exception, though the statements of earlier authors on its 

 occurrence in Chile and Sumatra are later on proved to be 

 incorrect. The species is distributed from 60° lat. N. in 

 Sweden through Europe to Algeria ; specimens from Buenos 

 Ayres could not be separated from European individuals, but 

 the supposition that it has been imported with plants from 

 Europe to that city is far from improbable. It is, in my 

 opinion, more puzzling that a few species captured near 

 Austin, in Texas, could not be separated by me with absolute 

 certainty from the European form, and Packard could not 

 find differences between specimens from Mexico and Ken- 

 tucky, and has besides found it in Massachusetts. The 

 species seems, therefore, to be distributed from Massa- 

 chusetts, in the north-easterly part of the United States, to 

 Mexico, but it must be added that a careful examination of 

 good material from some localities in Mexico, Texas, and the 

 northern United States is still necessary before the question 

 can be finally settled.
