A reexamination of the example named phranus in the report 

 upon the Myriopoda of the Morgui Archipelago, shows that it 

 is in reality the same as Sp. goesi. This specimen was identified 

 by Dr. Karsch as phranus. If it is in reality phranus, which is 

 doubtful, Dr. Karsch's name will have to be discarded as a 

 synonym. In the figure of the copulatory feet published in the 

 Linnean Journal, the lower edge of the anterior lamina should 

 have been emarginate. 



The usual colour of this species is a characteristic reddish tint, 

 but often the tergites are quite brown and the upper half of 

 the head mav be fuscous.

Recorded by Karsch from Siam and obtained by Dr. Ander- 

 son in King Island of the Mergui Archipelago. In Burma the 

 species has been obtained at the following localities : — Reef 

 Island (Tavoy), S. Tenasserim by Mr. E. W. Oates and at 

 Malewoon (Tenasserim), Plapoo (Mt. Mooleyit 1 200-1 400 m.) 

 by Sig. L. Fea. 



The colour of alcohol examples varies considerably. Frequently 

 the somites are pale olivaceous with ferruginous posterior border 

 and a blood-red transverse band on the dorsal surface, the pores 

 being very conspicuous as black spots. The blood-red mark, 

 however, varies much in distinctness and is often absent. There 

 seems to be no connection between colouring and locality ; for 

 some of the examples obtained by Fea at Malewoon have the 

 blood-red marking , while others are without it and the same
