254 Dr. & the Rev. 8. Graham Brade-Birks— 
CHILOPODA. 
5. Lithobius melanops, Newport. 
The examination of a classical example of Newport’s 
species confirms our contention (2) that Lithobius glabratus, 
C. L. Koch, is a synonym. 
DIPLOPODA. 
20. Craspedosoma rawlinst, Leach. 
We agree with Mr. Bagnall (1) in regarding Craspedosoma 
simile, Verhoeff, as a synonym. 
21. Polymicrodon polydesmotdes (Leach). 
Again we agree with Mr. Bagnall (1). Polymicrodon 
latzeli (Verhoeff) must be considered as a synonym. We 
have seen Leach’s type. 
23. Lulus (Ophitulus) pilosus, Newport. 
A labelled classical example—a male—proves conclusively 
that this is Zulus (Ophiiulus) fallax, Meinert. As Newport’s 
name is of earlier date, it takes precedence. 
24. Tachypodoiulus niger (Leach). 
We saw Leacli’s type, and, as it exhibits the characteristic 
striation of the prozonites of Tachypodoiulus albip»s (C. L. 
Koch), the synonymy so often suggested is established in 
favour of Leach’s name. 
27. Cylindroiulus punctatus (Leach). 
The type appears to be a female, but there can be little 
reasonable doubt that this is Cy/indrotulus stlvarum (Meinert). 
Externally the two are identical, and no other club-tailed 
species of these dimensions has been recorded from England. 
Meinert’s name must therefore give place to Leach’s. 
28. Brachytulus (Microbrachyiulus) pusillus (Leach). 
We have seen Lrach’s type. We agree with Mr. Bag- 
nall (1) in regarding as synonymous with this species 
Brachyiulus (Microbrachyiulus) littoralis (Verhoeff). Ot 
course, Leach’s name takes precedence.
