The British Museum also has examples from the following 
localities, which attest the wide range of the species :—Perth 
(H. W. J. Turner); Narre Warren, Loch, Walhalla, 
Warragul (Prof. Baldwin Spencer), and Warburton (H. &. 
Hogg), in Victoria; New South Wales (J. Macpherson) ; 
South Queensland (Prof. B. Spencer). 
The description of Scut?gera simpler, Haase (Abh. Mus. 
Dresden, no. 5, p. 26, 1887), is probably based upon a 
specimen conspecific with those above referred to S. maculata. 
The locality is given as Adelaide. 
Haase also recognizes the following as a valid species :— 
Scutigera Lesueurtt (Lucas, Anim. Artic. Crust. &c. p. 538, 
1840; Gervais, Ins. Apt. iv. p 223, 1847), with which 
S. strabo, Wood (Journ. Ac. Sci. Philad. (2) v. p. 11, 1863), 
is given as synonymous. Gervais describes the type, which 
is vaguely ticketed ‘‘ New Holland,” as “ brown, with a 
paler median dorsal band and yellow legs and antenne.” 
The specimen from Rockhampton identified by Haase as this 
species, and the type of S. strabo from Oahu, must be con- 
sidered doubtfully identical with Leswueurt?. If the descrip- 
tion of the latter is taken from a specimen showing the colours 
of life, no doubt. S. Lesueurdd is a species distinct from 
S. maculata, which has the legs banded and an irregular pale 
dorsal longitudinal stripe on each side of the middle line. 
Scutigera Latreillei, Newport (Tr. Linn. Soc. xix. p. 357), 
labelled ‘“‘ New Holland,” may be nothing but a dark form of 
S. maculata. The prevailing colour of the dried type in the 
Hope Museum at Oxford is black, with the stomata orange- 
yellow, some spots of the same colour on the head, and the 
legs banded with black. Haase considers S. wolacea, L. Koch 
(Verh. zool.-bot. Ges. Wien, xv. p. 890, 1865), from Wollon- 
gong, to be identical with S. Latredlle?, on the strength of the 
black colour of the dorsal plates and the presence of a pair of 
reddish-brown spots on the hinder border of each. At present, 
however, we have not sufficient material to unravel the 
difficult questions of synonymy here involved. 
Order LITHOBIOMORPHA. 
The three genera of this order may be diagnosed as 
follows :— 
a. A single eye on each side of the head and a pair of 
stigmata on the first leg-bearing somite. 
- a, Tarsi of anterior legs three-segmented, of fourteenth 
and fifteenth pairs six-segmented ........0 cece ues Henicops.
