Mr. R. I. Pocock on new Species of Chilopoda. 159 



Legs armed Avitli hairs and liair-likc bristles. 



Length 24 millim. 



A single specimen from Rio Caplvari (Brazil), collected by 

 Michaclis. 



Apparently allied to Cr. gnlathece of Mcincrt, from Monte 

 Video. In (jalathecc, however, the anal sternite is said to be 

 " manifesto attenuata,^'' whereas in Cr. capivarcn it is nearly 

 square. Moreover, Dr. Meinert makes no mention of the 

 sulci on the head-plate nor of the conspicuous grooves on the 

 femur and patella of the anal legs. 



Otocryptops punctatus, sp. n. 



Colour ferrugineo- or ochraceo-olivaceous ; head-plate 

 ferrugineous. 



Body moderately robust, nearly parallel-sided, more atten- 

 uated posteriorly than anteriorly. 



Head not sulcate, about as wide as long, with convex sides 

 and nearly straight posterior border, strongly punctured, its 

 lateral margin distinctly raised. 



Antennce composed of 17 segments, whereof the basal two 

 are hirsute, the rest densely pubescent. 



Maxillipedes strongly punctured, the coxte with anterior 

 margin very nearly straight, thickened, the femur armed 

 internally with a single tubercle. 



Tergites strongly punctured, the first marked anteriorly 

 with a strong, arched, transverse groove, from the sixth with 

 raised margins, all of them entirely without trace of longitu- 

 dinal sulci. 



Sternites strongly punctured, without sulci. 



Anal somite. — 2 ert/iVe not sulcate, w^ith parallel sides, the 

 margin distinctly raised and posteriorly spined, the middle of 

 the posterior border convexly produced posteriorly ; pleurce 

 furnished with many close-set larger and smaller circular 

 pores, the pores not attaining the superior margin, and leaving 

 a large subquadrate smooth space around the superior poste- 

 rior angle, the posterior border nearly vertical, the process 

 smooth, small, slender, and terminated by a single spine ; 

 sternite much narrowed posteriorly, its posterior border con- 

 vex ; legs moderately long and moderately stout, the femur 

 armed with two spiniform teeth, one in the middle of the 

 upper inner edge, the other large, in the anterior half of the 

 middle of the under surface : tarsi not pubescent, unarmed ; 

 claw spurred. 



Legs. — Twenty -second pair with tarso-metatarsus unarmed 

 and divided into a longer proximal and a shorter distal por-
