in length and the angle typically becomes somewhat more acute (cf. 

 pi. 26, figs. 8 and 9). 



Sternite of pregenital segment trapezoidal, typically somewhat 

 abruptly narrowed a little in front of caudal end, the posterior por- 

 tions densely clothed with fine and very short hairs. Coxopleurae 

 densely porose, the pores small and very small, the latter the more 

 numerous. Anal pores distinct. Anal legs slightly attenuated, their 

 length, exclusive of coxopleurae, typically near 1.78 times longer than 

 the penult legs. 



Number of segments : forty-nine. 



Measurements. — Length of type, 86 mm. ; width of first segment 

 (tergite), 4 mm. 



Locality. — India : Coonoor. Three specimens collected April 10, 

 1916. 



Comparison. — This form was at first supposed to be M. i axillaris 

 (Lucas), a species which, in general features, it much resembles. It 

 may. however, be readily distinguished from that species by the crenu- 

 lation of the mesal ends of the free margins of the lateral pieces of 

 the labrum, by the five minor non-areolated areas of the clypeal region, 

 and by the setae of this part, by the characters of the maxillae, and In- 

 various other details. In the character of the labral margins this 

 species suggests the Australian M. kurandanus Chambcrlin (cf. pi. 27. 

 fig. 12). 



SCOLOPENDRIDAE 



2. Scolopendra subspinipes Leach 



Trans. Linn. Soc. London, 1814-15, 11, 383. 



One specimen taken at Misaki, Japan, July 21, 1916, in the spining 



of its legs agrees with the forma typica rather than with the forma 



japonica. 



OTOSTIGMIDAE 

 3. Rhysida longipes (Newport) 



Branchiostoma longipes Newport, Trans. Linn. Soc. London, 1845, 19, 411. 

 Rhysida longipes Pocock, Biol. Centr. Amer. Chilop., 1896, p. 27. 

 One specimen of this tropicopolitan species was secured at Coonoor. 



4. Rhysida simplicior, sp. nov. 



Description. — General color olive brown ; a narrow stripe across pos- 

 terior border of each tergite typically paler; pleural region and legs 

 and antennae paler, sometimes in part with a tinge of blue.
