On the Chilopoda of the Australian Continent. 451 
pt. iv. no. 7, p. 5, 1893), recorded recently from Cape Town, 
resembles P. Spenceré in the emargination of the tergites, but 
differs in having only six maxillary denticles and as many as 
thirty-six antennal segments. 
Genus Henicors, Newport. 
Henicops, Newport, Tr. Linn. Soc. xix. p. 372. 
Differing from Lamyctes in having the tarsi of the legs 
segmented, those of the anterior thirteen pairs indistinctly, 
but certainly, trisegmented, those of the fourteenth and fifteenth 
pairs with the protarsus bisegmented and the tarsus quadri- 
segmented. 
Type H. maculatus, Newport. 
The genus Henicops was based upon two species, H. macu- 
latus and H. emarginatus. ‘The former may be regarded as the 
type; the latter, judging by the mutilated type from New 
Zealand and preserved in the British Museum, being referable 
to the genus Lamyctes. 
LVIII.—Thre Chilopoda or Centipedes of the Australian 
Continent. By R. I. Pocock. 
CONSIDERABLE additions have been made to our knowledge 
of the Australian Centipedes since Haase published his 
treatise on the subject in 1887. ‘The species known up to 
the present time are briefly recorded in the following pages, 
the account of them being intended rather as a ‘ student’s 
guide” to the subject than as a complete monograph. 
Order SCUTIGEROMORPHA. 
Genus SCUTIGERA, Lamarck. 
Scutigera maculuta (Newport). 
Cermatia maculata, Newport, Ann. & Mag. Nat. Hist. xiii. p. 96 (1844) ; 
id. Tr. Linn. Soc. xix. p. 859 (1845). 
Cermatia australiana, Newport, loc. cit. 
Seutigera maculata, Meinert, Vid. Medd. 1886, p. 103; Haase, Abh. 
Mus. Dresden, v. p. 23 (1887). 
? Cermatia Latreiller, Newport, Ann. & Mag. Nat. Hist. xix. pp. 359, 
845. 
This prettily marked species appears to be the only member 
of the genus met with in Southern Australia. Newport’s 
specimens were from the Swan River, and Haase has recorded 
examples from Peak Downs. "|
