Mr. A. G. Butler on new Myriopoda. 355 



Length 1 inch 7 lines to 1 inch 3 lines ; width at first dorsal 

 segment 9 lines. 



Hah. Madras and Ceylon [Dr. A. Smith). Four speci- 

 mens. B.M. 



Allied to Z. Brandtii of Humbert, but differing in the 

 number of teeth on the back of the head, the projecting last 

 segment, the incurved character of all the segments, the wings 

 of which are narrower, the relatively narrower and more 

 elongate character of the entire animal. We have Z. Brandtii 

 under two distinct types of coloration ; the darker form appears 

 to be the adult type. 



2. Zephronia rugulosa^ n. sp. PI. XVIII. fig. 1. 



Very near to the preceding, but pale testaceous ; the head, 

 nuchal plate, and hind margins of dorsal segments olivaceous 

 brown. 



Head glabrous, external third very coarsely and densely 

 punctm-ed, inner margin bearing about ten small teeth ; nuchal 

 plate and dorsal segments distinctly rugose and sparsely punc- 

 tured all over ; segmental wings less oblique and broader than 

 in the preceding species. 



Length 7 lines ; width 4 lines. 



Hah. Ceylon [R. Templeton). One specimen. B.M. 



3. Zephronia noticeps, n. sp. 



Allied to Z. chitonoides. Brownish olivaceous; the eyes, 

 antennae, legs, and nuchal plate (except central area) green ; 

 front of head inclining to orange, central area crossed by three 

 oval red spots. 



Head glabrous, somewhat pilose in front, coarsely but 

 sparsely punctured ; hind margin bearing about eight small 

 teeth ; nuchal plate surrounded by a series of coarse punctures, 

 several also scattered over its central area ; dorsal segments 

 dull, almost imperceptibly granulose, the last segment percep- 

 tibly punctured, especially behind ; segmental wings almost as 

 in preceding species. 



Length 8 lines ; width 4 lines. 



Hah. Ceylon [E. W. Janson). One specimen. B.M. 



4. Zephronia corrugata^ n. sp. 



Allied to Z. inermisj but paler in colouring, and with all 

 the dorsal segments coarsely rugose. 



Length 1 inch 8 lines to 7 lines ; width 9 lines to 3 lines. 

 Hob. Ceylon [R. Templeto7i). Four specimens. B.M. 



Possibly only a variety of Z. inermis, of which wc have four 

 examples from Madras and Ceylon.
