ON THE MYRIOPODA OF BURMA 429 
Maxillary sternite very short, mesially depressed, without chi- 
tinous lines; unarmed; claw long, lightly curved or blade-like. 
Anal legs short, terminated by a claw. 
Pleurae porous. 
Sternites with porous areas. 
Spiracula sclerites in contact with the tergites and much’ 
smaller than the large prescutellar sclerites. 
This genus, which is established for the reception of the fol- 
lowing two species and for HM. striatum (1) from Madras — a 
species which I provisionally referred to Himantarium — may be 
recognised from Himantarium by its very short basal plate, short 
and mesially depressed maxillary sternite, powerful maxillary 
claw, incrassate and not attenuate antennae, clawed anal 
legs ete. 
H. typicum may be taken as the type of the genus.
