I liavr qiM'stloiu'd the drfiptitps niUhrrfi of (iiMvais, Imtuuso tlio 

 iiutlior states that the spim-s of tlir hist pair of feet an; ab.snit. Thi.s 

 character is jtnitiaiy to tlir Inir dclinitioii of Cijiptops. aixl I am in 

 jliiu'd to think that rith»'f (iervais had un abuoiinai specimen or that 

 his oh.servations were incoireet. 



AnjKi'iiKs \Voo«l, has been sei)arat»'d from the otlier spe«'ies l»y the 

 number of antennal joints (ID), whieh he assij^ned t«» liis .sp»'<ies, but 

 as tiui number of Joints has ree(!ntly been found to Im- varialth' it is not 

 a trJU^ i'haraetei- upon wiiirii speeies can be based. 



In lOnt. Anier. «».">, ISST, Dr. I'mbMNVood says tiie hist pair olle}j;s 

 o{' sidcntifs ^b'inert. ar«^ unarmed, as in mUhcrti (Iervais, but in tiiis he 

 is mistaken, for, in iiis ^«Mieri«' deMcription Dr. Meinert states that the 

 hist jiair of h';4;s are armed with a definite number of spines. 



('onsiderin;^- tliis state of eharaeters, I believ*' that all the <leseril»ed 

 speeies should be united under C. Iii/t<linii.s. I have examined speci- 

 mens of this species from the followinji' States: Maryland, I'ennsyl- 

 \ania, Indiana, Tennessee, North Carolina. IMorida, Indian Territory, 

 and Arkansas, where it is v«'ry <ommon. 



26. Theatops spinicaiidus (W(mm1 ). 



Abundant from LittU'. lto<*k to ITltima Thule. 



27. Scolopeiidra lieio8 (Jiiaid. 



Two adults Welti obtaiueil at Little liock, sev«*ral youn^at .Murfrees- 

 boro and JMiiddy Fork. 



28. Scolopendia woodii Mrincit. 



A sin<»le siK'cimen was caujiht at Donaldson. 



29. Scolopocryptops .'iexspinosus (Sayi. 



(yomnuui at all points; these sprcinu-ns are of a darker sha«le than 

 northern or eastern examples. 



30. Heuicops fulviconiis (Meiiurt). 



A sinji'le specimen was obtained at I^ittle Kock iieai' the Deaf Mute 

 Asylum. This is a Huropean species, and the only other recorded 

 North American locality is Mount Lebanon, New York.
