450 On new Lithobiomorphous Chilopoda. 
Europe, the genus contains, amongst others, the following 
exotic species :—JL. insignis, Pocock, from Juan Fernandez ; 
L. tristant, Poc., from Tristan d’Acunha; L. albipes, Poc., 
from Tjibodas, Java; L. africanus, Porat, from Cape Colony ; 
and L. marginatus, Newport, from New Zealand. 
Genus PARALAMYCTES, nov. 
Differing from Lamyctes in having the tarsal segments of 
at least the first eleven pairs of legs bisegmented. ‘The 
presence of 12 coxal teeth on the toxicognaths may also prove 
to be of generic value. 
Type P. Spencer, sp. n. 
Paralamyctes Spencert, sp. n. 
Colour. Castaneous above and obscurely mottled with 
brown ; legs and distal half of the antenne fulvous ; head 
castaneous, blacker in front. 
Head convex, smooth and shining. 
Antenne short, composed of 20 thickly hirsute cylindrical 
segments, of which the apical is a little longer than the 
penultimate. 
Toxicognaths with the anterior border mesially excised, the 
margin on each side of the excision being rounded and armed 
with 6 minute subequal teeth, making a total of 12. 
Tergites sparsely hirsute, especially at the posterior end of 
the body, those of the first six somites with rounded angles 
and straight posterior border; the seventh, eighth, tenth, 
twelfth, and fourteenth with posterior borders becoming 
progressively more and more strongly emarginate from before 
backwards; the ninth, eleventh, and thirteenth strongly 
emarginate, the angles being acute and much produced. 
Legs thickly hirsute. Coxal pores 4, 4, 5, 4, rounded and 
set in a single series. (Posterior legs absent.) 
Generative forceps furnished with two basal spurs on each 
side and a single claw. 
Length 15 millim. 
Loc. Durban. <A single female specimen (H. A. Spencer). 
This species may be readily distinguished from Lamyctes 
africanus, Por., by its slightly larger size, the smaller number 
of its antennal segments, its longitudinally grooved frontal 
plate, but more especially by its strongly emarginate posterior 
tergites, and by the presence of twelve small teeth, instead 
of at most six, on the anterior border of the coxe of the 
toxicognaths.
