which are red instead of being wholly blood-red ; the 
metazonites a duller red, the red annuli narrower, in part so 
dull as scarcely to differ from the anterior region ; and 
especially in having a median dorsal row of fulvous to red 
spots ; one spot on the anterior part of each segment. 
Legs ferruginous. 
The two species differ obviously in the cauda, this in 
hoplurus being much longer and stouter. 
The segmental suture more strongly curved about the 
pore than in the other species, in which the suture, in fact, 
is scarcely at all bowed. 
In the gonopods of the male the proximal branches are 
much more strongly divergent and the median distal plate 
proportionately shorter. Injury to the gonopods prevents 
complete determination of structure. The telopodites of 
auterior pair curve strongly caudad beyond the segment. 
Number of segments forty-seven. 
Width (male) 62 mm.; female 7°5 mm.

PoLYDESMOIDBEA. 
Strongylosomide. 
Strongylosoma philippina, sp. n. 
Shining black above, with a mid-dorsal series of bright 
ferruginous spots, or these obscure or absent in the female. 
Lateral edges of porigerous carine also often ferruginous. 
Legs yellow. Antenne deep brown or black. Venter 
fulvous or fulvo-ferruginous. 
Sulcus across vertex extending very nearly to upper edges 
of antennal sockets, very deep. Surface of head smooth 
and shining. A few long setz along sulcus above, and with 
more numerous shorter ones along clypeal and labral areas. 
Antenne long and slender, the articles from second to sixth 
very long. 
Collum narrowly margined, smooth and shining ; antero- 
lateral corner more angular than the caudo-lateral, which is 
widely rounded. 
Segments in general deeply constricted, the furrow between 
the divisions strongly beaded. Surface smooth and shining, 
glabrous. Keels of second segment well below level of 
adjacent ones, extending forward beneath the first. Keels 
on other segments indicated by a deep longitudinal sulcus 
beneath, which is a low ridge-like swelling, thinner on the
