ON THE MYRIOPODA OF BURMA lel 
recognised by the greater number and greater strength of the 
spines on the anal femora and from Sc. morsitans by the smaller 
number and still greater strength of these same spines. But 
its most distinctive character is without doubt the entire absence 
of tarsal spurs. 
10. Scolopendra pinguis, sp. n. 
Colour upper surface of a deep uniform olivaceous tint; under 
surface paler ; legs ochraceous. 
Head plate nearly circular in shape, feebly punctured, without 
sulci. 
Antennae short, tapering, composed of 17 segments, whereof 
the basal three are naked and the rest pubescent. 
Maxillary sternite with wide, short, contiguous but obsoletely 
denticulated prosternal plates; the basal tooth small and simple. 
Tergites smooth, very feebly punctured; from the third bi- 
sulcate, but only the last two with raised margins. 
Sternites smooth; those in the anterior third of the body 
completely or nearly completely bisulcate, those in the posterior 
two thirds obsoletely bisulcate only in front. 
Anal somite; tergite with straight, parallel, raised margins , not 
sulcate and not impressed; sfernile somewhat wide, with con- 
- verging sides, rounded angles and straight posterior border ; 
pleurae thickly and normally punctured, a single lateral spine, 
process very short, blunt and tipped with five small spines ; 
legs absent. 
Legs with first tarsal segment armed with a single spur and 
the claws with two basal spurs. 
Length 64 mm. 
Habitat. Carin mounts, Cheba district, 1000-1200 m. One 
specimen obtained by Sig. L. Fea. 
In spite of the absence of the anal legs I have no hesitation 
in describing this specimen as the type of a new species. Its 
uniform green colouring is very peculiar. In this respect it 
approaches Sc. japonica of L. Koch more nearly than it does
