ON THE MYRIOPODA OF BURMA 425 
Antennae short and pubescent. 
Tergites, except a few at the anterior end of the body, bisul- 
cate and rugulose. 
Sternites in their posterior half marked with a straight, un- 
branched, longitudinal sulcus. 
Anal pleurae hirsute and furnished with about 40 conspicuous, 
irregularly arranged , circular pores. 
No. of pairs of legs 45. 
Length about 40 mm. 
Obtained by Sig. Fea at Teinzò (Upper Burma); — Mt. 
Mooleyit (Tenasserim) ; — Carin Mountains: Cheba or Biapo 
(900-1400 m.), Ghecu (1200-1400 m.), Asciuii Cheba (900-1400 
m.), Asciuii Ghecu (1200-1600 m.) and by Mr. Oates at Moul- 
mein and on Reef Island (Tavoy). 
Judging by the localities this species has a wide range in 
Burma, but specimens are much less commonly met with than 
are those of M. punctifrons. Thus while several specimens of 
M. punctifrons were in most cases met with at the different 
localities, examples of M. spissus were obtained by ones or at 
most by twos. Apart from the smaller number of legs this 
species never appears to attain the dimensions to which M. puncti- 
frons may grow, and, moreover, it is usually differently coloured 
— the contrast between the dark marbled green of the trunk 
and the clear yellow of the legs being a very marked feature. 
Hitherto the only recorded specimen of this species was that 
described by Dr. Wood from Oahu.
