DELTOTARIA MILLIPEDS—HOFFMAN 33 
into a thin, flat, slightly twisted solenomerite. Prefemoral division of 
gonopod with a small, upright conical prefemoral process. 
Remarks: The described specimen agrees closely in all respects 
with the holotype. The apparent difference in bulk of the telopodite 
of the gonopods suggested by Causey’s illustration and the present 
drawing is due to differences in drawing technique. 
D. tela is apparently not common. Three attempts were made to 
secure fresh material at the type locality before I was rewarded by 
finding a male and female deep in rhododendron leaf litter within a 
yard of the edge of Bent Creek. A subsequent visit to the locality 
several years later was again fruitless. 
This species seems to have little in common with D. mariana and 
brimleit, its geographically closest relatives, and except for gonopod 
structure is perhaps closest to D. lea, a similarly large and robust 
form. So far tela is known only from the holotype, and from the two 
topotypes that I collected on June 15, 1953.

TyrE sPECIMEN: Male holotype, USNM 6663, from 4.5 miles 
southeast of Lincolnton, Lincoln County, North Carolina, collected 
by Leslie Hubricht on April 59, 1956. 
Diacnosis: Distinguished by the short coxal apophysis of the 
gonopod, the broad postfemoral part, and the simple, laminately 
expanded apex of the telopodite. The evenly rounded outline of the 
hypoproct may also be characteristic of this species. 
DESCRIPTION OF HOLOTYPE: A large member of the genus, structur- 
ally similar to D. brimlevi with the following exceptions: 
Length about 38 mm.; width at segment 6, 9.0 mm.; segment 12, 
9.8 mm.; segment 16, 8.6 mm. 
Head less convex; labral setae about 12-12, clypeal setae about 
16-16, this series extending onto ventral margin of genae, latter not 
especially tumid, and antennal socket correspondingly not so deep 
as in brimleii. Antennae long, 7.6 mm., extending back to fourth 
tergite, the articles in decreasing order of length 2-6-5-3-4-1-7, but 
articles 3 through 6 are virtually of the same size. Interantennal 
isthmus about 1.5 mm. wide, much narrower in proportion to antennal 
length (20 percent) than in brimlei. 
Marginal groove of collum very short and faint, noticeable only 
with considerable magnification, not attaining either the lateral angle 
of the collum nor the level of the mandibular-cranial articulation. 
Paranotal lobes of segment 19 acutely subtriangular instead of 
rounded oblong.
