ON THE MYRIOPODA OF BURMA 419 
Head plate somewhat ovate, longer than it is wide, sparsely 
punctured. 
Antennae of moderate length, composed ot 19-20 segments, 
whereof the basal four are bare and the rest pubescent. 
Prosternal plates of maxillary sternite bearing four, strong, 
sharp teeth. 
Tergites punctured, from the third bisulcate, from the fifth 
marginate. 
Sternites conspicuously bisulcate, the sulci more or less ab- 
breviated posteriorly, with a feebly indicated posterior median 
impression. 
Anal somite; tergite of normal form; plewrae thickly punctured, 
elongate and somewhat slender, armed at the apex with two 
small nearly contiguous spines, with one small superior spine 
and two or one small lateral spine; sternite much narrowed 
posteriorly with emarginate hinder border; /egs moderately ro- 
bust, femur armed normally with eight or nine spines, that is 
4 in an irregular series on the upper inner edge, 2 on the 
under inner edge and 3 or 2 on the under outer edge; claw 
either with or without minute basal spurs; tarsus not spurred. 
Legs (except those of the 20 somite) with the proximal tarsal 
segment spurred. 
Length up to 76 mm. 
Locality. Thagatà on Mt. Mooleyit (one specimen) and _ vil- 
lage of Meteleo on the Carin Mts. (one specimen 900-1200 m.) 
‘obtained by Sig. L. Fea; one specimen from S. Tenasserim taken 
by Mr. E. W. Oates. 
In the spine armature of its anal femora and anal pleurae, 
as in the absence of tarsal spurs from the legs of the 20" so- 
mite, this species comes nearest to H. bisulcatum of Témésvary, 
a species of which the Museum possesses specimens from Borneo 
and Corea. But parviceps may be at once recognised from this by 
its conspicuous sternal sulci, its more slender build, its longer 
antennae and longer pleurae. From H. rapax of Gervais, of which 
the Museum possesses several examples from Silhet, this species 
may be at once separated by the difference in the termination
