MICROSPIROBOLUS SIGILLATUS, n. sp. 



Male type was collected on Morne Pilboreau, above Ennery, Haiti, 

 May 28, 1926, by O. F. Cook. A female specimen was collected in 

 the same locality May 13, 1927, and another at the Citadel near Cape 

 Haitien, March 27, 1932, by H. F. Loomis. 



Diagnosis. — The most outstanding character of this species is the 

 dorsal median marking, which consists of a solid band on the first 

 few segments but thereafter the band is divided on the front of 

 each segment to form a Y-shaped figure, with its stem on the hindbelt. 



Description. — Length of the largest specimen, a female, 27 mm, 

 breadth 2.5 mm. Number of segments 43. 



In life the head is dark except at the labrum. First segment nearly 

 white with a blackish spot behind at the middle and another on each 

 side half way to the lateral margin. Ensuing segments with a broad 

 black median band which is solid on the first few segments but on 

 each segment thereafter is split widely apart to the hindbelt, forming 

 a Y-shaped figure with the basal stem crossing the hindbelt ; this figure 

 pink along the sides and in the cleft. Laterad of the dark median 

 figure is a broad cream band, below which is a still broader black 

 band somewhat areolate with small light spots, and below this band 

 the color is nearly white. Last segment dark, with a large semicircular
