East-Indian Chilopoda and Diplopoda. 59 
much stouter than the immovable branch, distally excavated 
on the axial side as usual, with one of the edges here weakly 
toothed. The immovable finger equal to the other in length, 
flattened on axial surface, a little twisted, narrowing 
moderately distad, the distal end rounded. 
Length (male) about 38 mm.; width 20 mm. 
Locality.— Unknown. 
Type, Mus. Comp. Zool. (No. 4692); paratype (No. 
4693). 
Zoospherium amittum, sp. 0. 
This species appears to conform to the genus Zoospherium 
of Madagascar, and is probably from that locality, Through 
long preservation the colour has been lost, leaving the 
specimen throughout testaceous, excepting the eyes, which 
are dark olive. 
The head is sparsely lightly punctate. Antenne slender, 
the last article cylindrical, bearing numerous sensory cones. 
Collum of form described for Spheropeus magnus, but 
with the lateral angles broader, less acute, and not curved so 
decidedly forwards ; the plate is longer, making the caudal 
margin more convex. ‘here are several irregular series of 
shallow punctz in front, but the remaining part of plate 
free from them. 
Second tergite with lateral wings large; the margination 
as usual, the depressed lateral border much and abruptly 
below level of other part of plate. The surface is very 
densely deeply punctate, but the puncte are not coarse. 
In the succeeding plates the lower ends are narrowed to an 
acute angle, the anterior surface being obliquely bevelled to 
form a shelf over which the preceding plate fits; the surface 
densely uniformly punctate, like that of the second tergite. 
Anal scutum with surface like that of the preceding ones. 
Weakly margined below, the border smooth and the 
margining furrow shallow. 
Tarsus of legs with a single stout spine above the claw. 
The latter long and slender. 
Vulva composed of three pieces, two larger ones separated 
by the pore with a suture running obliquely proximomesad 
from it; each of these pieces prolonged in a horn or process 
partly embracing the unpaired piece, which is distoectal in 
position and is distally deeply and acutely incised. 
Length (female) about 40 mm. ; width 23 mm. 
Locality — Uncertain, but probably Madagascar (‘‘ Wyman 
coll”),
