ON THE MYRIOPODA OF BURMA 423 
24. Cryptops sp.? 
Mr. Oates obtained two specimens of a Cryptops from Great 
Cocos Island (Andamans). Both of them, however, are too da- 
maged to identify. In all probability they are referable to 
Cr. doriae, but in the absence of anal legs, there can be no 
certainty on this point.

To this list ought perhaps to be added tenwiculus of L. Koch 
from Japan. 
As might be inferred from the number of synonyms — the 
list being, I believe, complete up to date — this species has a 
very wide range. It is found almost everywhere in the Oriental 
Region, where it is certainly the dominant species of the genus. 
So far as extra-oriental localities are concerned the British Mu- 
seum possesses examples from Socotra, Rodriguez (type of gul- 
liveri, Butl.), Madagascar and the Bermudas. 
Moreover, Mr. Bollman has lately recorded it from Cuba, and 
Newport's type of guildingi was from S*. Vincent (West Indies). 
It is very abundant in Burma. Specimens were obtained by 
Sig. L. Fea at the following localities: Upper Irrawaddy: Teinzò 
Bhamò, Shwegoo, Thigyan, Mandalay; — Lower Burma: 
Prome, Palon, Rangoon; — Tenasserim: Mooleyit, Meetan,
