CniLOPODA. 

 5. TAthohius mehtiops, Newport. 



Tiie examination oE a clas-sical examjile of Newport's 

 sj^eciies confirms our contention (2) that Lithohius glahratus, 

 C. L. Koch, is a synonym. 



DiPLOPODA. 

 20. Cra<}pedosoma rawUnsi\ Leacli. 



We af^ree witli Mr. Bagnall (1) in regarding Craspedosoma 

 simile, Verlioeff, as a synonym. 



21. Polymicrodon poJydesmoides (Leach). 



Again we agree with Mr. Bagjiall (i). Polymicrodon 

 latzeli (Verhoeff) must be considered as a synonym. We 

 have seen Leach's type. 



23. lulus (^0 phiudus) pilosus, Newport. 



A labelled classical example — a male — proves conclusively 

 that this is lulus {Opliiiulus) falla.c, Meinert. As Newport's 

 name is of earlier date, it takes precedence. 



24. TacJiypodoiulus niger (Leach). 



We saw Leach's type, and, as it exhibits the characteristic 

 sti-ialion of the prozonites of Tachypodoiidus alh'ip s {{]. 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 CyUndroiulns silvarum (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. Bracliyiidus (^Microhrachyiulus) pusillus (Leach). 



We have seen Lt ach's type. We agree with Mr. ]5ag- 

 nall (l) in regarding as synonymous with this species 

 Brachyiuhis {Microbr achy lulus) littoralis (Verhoeff). Of 

 course, Leach's name takes precedence.
