Mr. R. T. Pocock on neio Species of Chilopoda. 153 



armed, arnieil beneath as follows — 0, 1, 3, 3, 1 ; coxa^ of the 

 three posterior pairs armed with a eonsplcuous lateral spine j 

 coxal pores in the adult elongate, arranged in a single series 

 as follows — 8, 8, 8, 7 or G (in the young the pores arc 

 rounder and 5, 5, 5, 4). 



Generative forceps in female with two spurs on each side 

 and a trifid claw. 



Length up to 29 millim. 



Four s])ecimens from Bermuda {'Cha/Ienqer''). 



This species is evidently allied to forjicatus, but it differs 

 at least in having the three posterior coxaj armed with a 

 lateral spine. 



Liihohius (s. s.) Sydney ensis^ sp. n. 



Colour * ochraceous. 



Eyes composed of about 10-15 ocelli, arranged in three or 

 four rows approximately as follows — 1 + 5 or 4, 5 or 4, 

 4 or 3. 



Antenyue moderately long, hairy, composed of 26-28 seg- 

 ments. 



Maxillary coxce mesially impressed, with 2 + 2 conspi- 

 cuous teeth, excised in the middle line. 



Teryites more or less wrinkled, in the posterior half of the 

 body distinctly granular ; angles of the ninth, eleventh, and 

 thirteenth strongTy produced. 



Sternites sparsely hairy, not mesially impressed. 



Leys hairy and spinous ; the first pair armed below as 

 follows — 0, 0, 1, 3, 1 ; anal legs robust, only a little longer 

 than those of the preceding somite, armed beneath as follows 

 — 0, 1, 3, 3 or 2, 1; coxa without a lateral spine; upper 

 surface of the patella of the male furnished at its distal end 

 with a nodular projection, which is hollowed out above; coxa? 

 of the four last legs furnished (in the adult) with 6, 7, 7, 5 

 elongate pores, arranged in a single series. 



Generative forceps of the female with two long spurs on 

 each side and a slender, lightly biiid claw. 



Length 19 millim. 



Four specimens (1 ?,3 <^) from Sydney, presented by 

 Mr. John Brazier. 



I believe this to be the first species of the genus recorded 

 from Australia. Dr. Newport described one species named 

 aryus f from New Zealand ; but L. sydneyensis is very 



* Possibly faded from loug immersiou in spirit. 



t The type of L. aryus, Avbich is preserved in the Hope Museum at 

 Oxford under the name zelandicus, shows that the species is referable to 

 Lithobius sensu stricto. More than this I was not able to determine in the 

 hm-ried examination that I was able to give the specimens.
