The tarsi of the pre-anal legs are furnished with a single spur ; the 

 anal pleurae are furnished on one side with two apical spines and on 

 the other with one ; the anal femora are armed with three small 

 spines, one on the middle of the upper inner edge, one on the under 

 inner edge, and one on the under outer edge. 



Mr. Thurston has, on a previous occasion, sent this species from 

 Madras. 



Otostigma ceylonimmi, Haase. 



Op. cit., pp. 69, 70, pi. iv, fig. 67. 



Mr. G-reen brought back several specimens from Punduloya. 



This species also occurs in Burma, as I have elsewhere pointed out. 



Two very nearly allied forms were on a previous occasion sent to 

 the British Museum from Madras by Mr. Edgar Thurston. Both of 

 these were new and were described by me in the paper to which 

 reference has already been made. These were called Of. spkmlens 

 and Ot. morsitans ; but at the time, not having then seen Ot. ceylo- 

 niciim, I was not able to give very satisfactory characters to distin- 

 guish the three. In Ot. sjjlendens the anal pleurae are much longer 

 and stronger than in Ot. celyonicum, in which they are remarkably 

 weak; while in Ot. morsitans the tergites are beset with minute 

 spicules, and the sternites are laterally and not mesially impressed. 



Scolopendra morsitans, (Linn.), Kohl. 



Haase, op. cit., pp. 52, 53., 



Mr. Thurston sent specimens from Mysore and Madras. 



This species is found in all tropical and subtropical countries. It 

 is of medium size, and varies considerably in colour ; but it xn.2cj be 

 recognised by the presence of nine spines in three longitudinal rows 

 on the lower surface of the femur of the anal legs. It seems to be 

 widely distributed in India ; the British Museum has examples from 

 Burma, Calcutta, Bengal, N.-W. India, Maballah, Midnapore, 

 Madras, and Ceylon. 



Cormocephalus fygmmus, sp. n. 

 Colour a deep greenish-blue throughout, darker posteriorly. 

 Body moderately robust and nearly parallel- sided. 

 Head very minutely punctured, marked in its posterior half with 

 two anteriorly diverging sulci.
