THE GENERA AND SPECIES OF SYMPHYLA. 43 



long as the distal setae, and looks upwards ; the apical seta 

 is wanting in my specimen. 



Length. — The specimen measures 3*6 mm. 



Locality. — Island Mauritius, '^Curepipe." The specimen 

 has been captured by Mr, Chr. Alluaud, and belongs to the 

 Museum in Paris. 



Remarks. — The species is allied to S. orientalis, but is 

 easily distinguished from this and other species described 

 above by the cerci, the sette of which are less numerous, but 

 the distal ones of them conspicuously longer and stronger than 

 in those species.

(In this list papers by Karlinski and Tomosviiry have been 

 omitted as unknown to me, and certainly unimportant; they 

 have been mentioned by Latzel, op. cit., pp. 14 and 15. 

 Scolopendrella gratioe, Ryder, is uncertain, and has 

 therefore not been included in the list.) 



Material. — Five specimens, all snuiH and shrivelled or 

 incomplete. The following description is therefore rather 

 defective. 



Head. — Moderately broad, with the lateral margin angular. 

 The longest seta in front of the angle is considerably shorter 

 than the breadth of the basal autenual joint. The central 

 rod is conspicuous in its whole length ; at the front end of 

 the basal third it seems to be divided by a transvei'se suture ; 

 the posterior part widens somewhat near the hind margin of
