188 The Myriapoda of Cambridgeshire 



Verhoeff's species has no trace of an anal spike. Then as to 

 their size, Leach's specimen was 2j inches long, while the 

 largest specimen examined by Verhoeff is only :s mm. F;m 

 zago has described /. Inuduu'nsis, Leach, as found in Italy, but 

 I am informed by a friend that his species is not Leach's hut 

 probably synonymous with Diplolulus apenninorum, Briihl. 

 J. niger is, according to Latzel, identical with his J. scant! i- 

 navius, the micropodiultisligtdiferofVeThoeS,&nd.J. terrextri* 

 of Meinert and others. It has been found in Germany, Austria, 

 and Scandinavia. I have received specimens of it from Devon- 

 shire and Cornwall. J. terrestris, Lin., is, according to Latzel, 

 synonymous with J. fallax of Meinert and others. It is a 

 widely-distributed species on the Continent and common in 

 this country. 



J. punctatus. Latzel identifies Koch's J. pnnct<ilns with 

 his (Latzel's) J. pelidnus but does not believe it to be the 

 same as Leach's J. punctatus. 



J. pulchellus is identified by Latzel with BUwjiilu* ><'- 

 nustus, Meinert. It is a common species both on the Continent 

 and in this country. J. pwillus he identifies with J. hnlcti of 

 Stein and Porath, and J. stuxbergi of Fanzago and Berlese. 

 It has been found in Germany and Italy. 



Blanjulus guttulatus is a widely distributed species; it is 

 fairly common in Cambridgeshire. 



In addition to these species Newport gives J. sandw'wn*i*< 

 and it is very doubtful what species it corresponds to. In ad- 

 dition to the species of Julidae already mentioned, I have found 

 two species common in England and Ireland; one of these 

 is J. albipes which Verhoeff gives as common in England. 

 Latzel queries if it is not a synonym of J.falla,i\ but there is 

 no doubt that Verhoeff is right in holding it to be a distinct 

 species. This species which I have received from Devon, 

 Cambridge, and South Wales, I believe to be identical with 

 Newport's /. sandivicemis. The other species, which I have 

 found abundant in county Wicklow, in Ireland, is the species 

 and ibed by Latzel as J. Jnmjuhn. VerlmelV gives it eua a
