Genera and Species of Scolopendridas. 67 



conspicuous spines — three on the anterior half of the upper 

 inner edge, five in a posteriorly ascending series on the under 

 inner edge, three defining the internal boundary of a smooth 

 very lightly depressed area which occupies the middle of the 

 under surface of the segment, three bounding this area exter- 

 nally, and three or four on the under outer edge; posteriorly 

 beneath the segment is obsoletely tubercular ; patella flat 

 above, distinctly tubercular internally and beneath, tibia 

 similarly but more thickly and more strongly tubercular, 

 distinctly sulcate above ; proximal tarsal segment lowly 

 tubercular throughout ; distal tarsal segment obsoletely tuber- 

 cular anteriorly ; claws with spines at the base. 



Legs with spined claws but unarmed tarsi. 



Length about 42 millim. 



A single specimen from Bengal. 



This species is so remarkable for the peculiar tubercular 

 armature of its anal legs that no further feature need be men- 

 tioned as characteristic of it. 



Cormocephalus Icevipes, sp. n. 



Body tolerably robust, slender anteriorly. 



Colour chocolate-brown ; anal legs f errugineous, rest of the 

 legs and antennas with greenish tint ; shining. 



Head-plate punctured, with two posterior sulci. 



Antennas broken, slender, the basal five segments bare. 



Maxillary sternite coarsely punctured, anteriorly sulcate ; 

 prosternal plates well developed, converging, about as long as 

 wide, each bearing four blunt teeth, whereof the external one 

 is separated ; basal tooth well developed, subdentate. 



Tergites. — The first punctured with anteriorly and poste- 

 riorly abbreviated vestiges of two sulci ; from the second 

 bisulcate, from the sixth marginate, lightly wrinkled mesially 

 and laterally. 



Sternites strongly bisulcate. 



Anal somite. — Tergite wider than long, with a complete 

 median sulcus and raised margins ; pleura*, densely porous, 

 the process short, stout, blunt, and tipped with two minute 

 close-set spines, no lateral or superior spines ; sternite nar- 

 rowed posteriorly, with converging sides, rounded lateral 

 angles, and straight posterior margin ; legs short, somewhat 

 stout, coarsely and closely punctured, the segments rounded, 

 smooth ; the femur furnished with two minute spinules on 

 the upper inner edge, two or one on the inner surface, two 

 on the under inner edge, and two in the position of the process, 

 which is absent; claw furnished with two spines. 



Legs with tarsi not spurred ; all the claws armed basal ly 

 with two spurs.
