DELTOTARIA MILLIPEDS—-HOFFMAN 27 
rounded-oval. Epiproct subtriangular, distally truncate-conical, with 
two whorls of setae, the basalmost of which is continued down lateral 
edges of the segment. Paraprocts convex, nearly smooth but for fine 
vertical striations, the mesal margins unusually elevated. Dorsal 
setiferous tubercule set on the raised margin, the ventral tubercule 
distinctly removed from the margin and set closer to middle of the 
paraproctal disc. Hypoproct acutely triangular, the two paramedian 
tubercules set almost at the apex. 
Caudal margins of segments conspicuously set off by a broad, shal- 
low, sharply defined furrow running from the under side of paranota to 
upper end of coxal socket, isolating the caudal edge as a distinct ele- 
vated rim; remaining surface of sides smooth and unmodified except 
on the anterior third of body where produced into a low subconical 
knob just above and between the coxal sockets. 
Legs inserted on strongly elevated podosterna, the anterior face of 
which slopes steeply to the interzonal furrow, the posterior face being 
slightly overhung by the angular transverse shelf between the caudal 
leg pair; podosterna of segments 8-12 each with 4 to 8 scattered setae 
in an irregular row between the legs. Legs set about 1.5 mm. apart, 
those of the posterior pair distinctly closer together than the anterior. 
No subcoxal sternal spines nor median cruciform impression. 
Legs long and slender, sparsely setose except for tibia and tarsus, 
which are, particularly on the dorsal surfaces, densely set with stout 
bristles. Pretarsus long, slender, and slightly sinuous, compressed, 
with a median dorsal carina and two smaller paramedian carinae; 
underside smooth. Coxae and prefemora with stout spines, the coxae 
of legs 1-14, however, not noticeably armed. Joints of legs at mid- 
body, in order of decreasing length 3-6—2-1—4—5. 
Anterior sternites rather broad and without processes except for 
low indistinct knobs between legs of third and fourth pairs. Anterior 
legs not modified except for somewhat more strongly curved pretarsi. 
Seminal processes of second leg pair low, cylindrical. 
Gonopod aperture large, transversely oval, with distinct raised 
lateral and caudal rims. Prozonite of seventh segment reduced to a 
narrow strip in front of the aperture. Gonopods missing from the 
vial; the following statement is from the original description: “In situ 
main blades of gonopods subparallel and perpendicular to longitudinal 
axis of body. Flattened apical third of main blade bent cephalad, 
ending in a thin subapical process and an attenuated apical hook [i.e., 
solenomerite]. Basal medial portion of blade thickly setose and prox- 
imal third sparsely setose. A large pointed peg on medial side of 
coxa and adjacent to the curved coxal spine of the gonopod.” Sub- 
terminal process B is of about the same size and shape as the sole- 
nomerite, and thus more conspicuous than in other species of the 
genus (see fig. 2c).
