Mr. R. I. Pocock 07i neio Species of Ghilopoda. 155 



pores are rounded, arranged in a single series, and 5 or 4 in 

 number. 



//. insularis of Ilaasc, from Auckland, is very different 

 from all the species here mentioned in having very short anal 

 legs and only a single pore in each of the posterior coxie. 



Scolopendridse. 



Cryptops adantts, sp. n. 



Colour. — Antennce, head, first two and last two somites, 

 and anal legs clear ochraceous ; rest of the legs testaceous ; 

 rest of the somites ochraceo-fuscous. 



Antennce (? 15-jointed). — Basal segments short and beset 

 with bristles, the rest of the segments longer, pubescent, and 

 scarcely hirsute. 



Head-plate not sulcate, its posterior border overlapped by 

 the first tergite. 



Maxillary coxoi with anterior border slightly thickened 

 and slightly and angularly excavated in the middle line and 

 furnished on each side with about four bristles ; femora and 

 claws of normal form. 



Tergites. — The first three wholly without sulci, the fourth 

 obsoletely sulcate posteriorly and laterally, the rest (except 

 the last) with four sulci, two internal complete and longitu- 

 dinal, two external incomplete and oblique ; the oblique sulci 

 almost obsolete on the seventeenth to twentieth tergites ; 

 tergites smooth and shining, very obscurely punctate and 

 hairy, with simple unraised margins. 



Sternites lightly punctured and hairy, all (except the last) 

 medianly and longitudinally sulcate, the transverse sulcus 

 scarcely perceptible. 



Anal somite. — Tergite with raised margins, not sulcate, 

 lightly depressed posteriorly ; pleura furnished in front and 

 below with many pores, smooth above and behind, with 

 rounded, hirsute, postero-inferior angle ; sternite shorter 

 than the plcurge, with converging lateral margins, rounded 

 lateral angles, and lightly concave posterior border ; legs — 

 femur smooth above, the sides furnished below with short 

 spiniform hairs, the lower surface thickly beset at the sides 

 with short spiniform hairs, smooth and longitudinally ex- 

 cavated in the middle ; patella slightly thicker and slightly 

 shorter than the femur and much less spinous, the inferior 

 surface furnished laterally with smaller and fewer spiniform 

 hairs, wliich are interspersed with many long bristles; tibia 

 much shorter than the patella, lower surface deeply excavated
