CHILOPODA OF LIGURIA 65 



16. GS-eopliilus aleator, sp. n. 



Of small size, slightly attenuate posteriorly ; sparsely hirsute. 



Antennae short, thick, not attenuate. 



Cephalic plate very wide, almost covering the maxillary feet. 

 Basal plate also very wide, with sides converging anteriorly; 

 prebasal plate invisible; maxillary feet unarmed and not attaining 

 the frontal margin ; the maxillary sternite considerably wider 

 than long; not dentate anteriorly but furnished with two con- 

 spicuous and complete chitinous lines. 



Tergites bisulcate ; anal tergite wide and covering the greater 

 part of the upper surface of the pleurae. 



Sternites in the anterior half of the body marked behind the 

 middle with a small median porous area ; anal sternite narrow, 

 with lateral margins only slightly converging posteriorly, almost 

 parallel sided, with lightly convex posterior margin. 



Pleurae furnished with about five conspicuous pores situated 

 on the lateral surface ; the posterior pore is very . large. 



Anal legs (c/') very long, more than twice as long as the 

 preceding pair, the segments cylindrical; unarmed. 



Anal pores two , small. 



No. of pairs of legs (in c/*) 71. Length 22 mm. 



Hàb. Monaco. (A single specimen only, found on the hill-side 

 facing the sea). 



In its narrow anal sternite and long unarmed anal legs this 

 species seems to be allied to G. mediterraneus of Meinert. But 

 in G. mediterraneus the maxillary feet are said to project 

 beyond the margin of the cephalic plate and to have the claw 

 armed with a basal tooth; moreover the pleurae are furnished 

 with many pores,
