Duke-of-York Island. By Artuur Garpiner Burizr, 
F.L.S., F.Z.S., Assistant, Zoological Department, British 
Museum. 
[Received March 2, 1877.] 
Only two species of Myriopods were sent home, both of them allied 
to, but distinct from, previously described species. 
CHILOPODA. 
Hetrerostoma, Newport. 
HETEROSTOMA BROWNI, 0. sp. 
Above brownish olivaceous, with violet reflections, hind borders of 
the segments dark greenish; antennz and legs (excepting the 
femoral and sometimes the tarsal joints of young examples) green ; 
body below testaceous; anal appendices tawny ; labial teeth eight, 
smooth, acutely conical, the central pair on each side very powerful ; 
basilar joint of posterior legs somewhat depressed (not carinated), 









Heterostoma browni. 
with five short acute spines on the supero-interior margin and six on 
the inferior surface ; lateral anal appendices long (9 millimetres), 
cylindrical towards the base, acuminate and bidentate at the tip, 
coarsely punctured, with two minute denticles above near the tip, and 
two others near the centre of the infero-exterior margin. Length of 
adult specimen, exclusive of posterior legs, 4 inches; length of 
posterior legs 1 inch. 
Allied to H. suleidens of Newport from Paramatta, but with the 
segments more parallel, the spines on the posterior pair of legs 
shorter and placed at more regular intervals from one another, the 
lateral anal appendices rather longer and considerably less spinose, 
and with eight instead of six teeth on the lower lip.
