Myriapoila from Derbyshire. 323 



is unknown in our Islands ; a study of British examples may 

 show it to be a distinct species." 



We have not yet been able to make a careful study of the 

 genus Glomeris, but we may add that the animal in question 

 is smaller than G. marginata marginata, although it has the 

 white edges of the pleurotergites as in that form. Its general 

 body-colour is brown, and its dorsal surface is furnished with 

 four longitudinal rows of light spots. Two rows are distinctly 

 lateral, while two are close to the median line. These more 

 median rows are formed by a pair of spots on each pleuro- 

 tergite, which tend to coalesce anteriorly and form a V-shaped 

 marking on each segment. These more median rows alone 

 are continued on to the last segment. Professor Ribaut has 

 recorded the animal (10) under the name of G. connexa 

 perplexa, Latzel ; Dr. Verhoeff, on the other hand, records it 

 (13) as G. marginata -perplexa, Latzel, and adds a note of 

 which the following is a rough translation : — "Recent inves- 

 tigations have shown me that perplexa and marginata belong 

 to the same species, but not to connexa ; I shall reconsider 

 this point more carefully in another paper." We :ire not 

 familiar with any later note by Verhoeff on this subject.

Verlioeff (13) includes this species in the subgenus Micro- 

 podoiulus. 



The females of this species are very like those of I. fall ax. 

 The coxite of the second leg of the male, however, bears an 

 ov;il expansion, which serves to characterize 1. ligulifer.
