MYRIOPODA FROM BURMA 387 
segments, whereof the distal is very small; immoyable dactylus 
blade-like, with a bifid membranous tooth. 
Length up to 31 mm. 
Locality; Carin Cheba or Biapò (Villages of Puepoli and 
Meteleo) , 900-1200 m. Collected by Sig. L. Fea. 
This species is very closely allied to Z. few, but the first 
pair of forceps of the copulatory feet have a different form. In 
Z. fee the two dactyli are longer, the movable one is straighter 
and has a bifid extremity; the immovable is not nearly so 
stout and is shorter than the movable. Z. clivicola may be 
recognised in addition by being more brightly coloured, the 
colours contrasting much more forcibly than in Z. fee and the 
spots being much less developed. 
Zephronia formosa sp. n. 
Q. Colour; head and nuchal plate shining piceous; first 
tergite ochraceous with black posterior margin; anal tergite

nearly vertical shining and smooth and separated from the

punctate and striolate. 
Anal tergite finely punctate and striolate; lightly saddle-shaped,
