REPORT UPON TWO COLLECTIONS OF MYRIOPODA. 149 



Paradesmus lielaarti, (Humbert). 

 (PI. ii, fig. 12.) 



Essai Sur les Myriapodes de Ceylan. Mem. Soc. Pliys. Geneve, 

 xviii, jjp. 23, 24, pt. ii, fig. 7. 



Recorded originally from Ceylon. 



Mr. Thurston sent one specimen ( 6 ) from Tanjore, and two ( $ ) 

 from Madras. 



This species has the dorsal surface remarkably flat and rugulose, 

 and only the posterior angles of the keels flavous. 



Stronfjijlosoma siinjAex, (Humbert). 



Loc. cit., pp. 34, 35, pi. iii, fig. 14. 



Specimens of both sexes from Punduloya (Ceylon) were brought 

 by Mr, Green. 



The types of the species were collected by Mons. Humbert at 

 Pundel-Oya {sic). 



This species approaches Leptodesmus in the form of its caudal pro- 

 cess. The colour of the head, antennge, legs, caudal process, and the 

 anterior and inferior portions of the somites — of the whole animal in 

 fact, except just the upper surface of the keel-bearing portion of the 

 somites and the keels, which are ferruginous or piceous — is ochra- 

 ceous or testaceous. 



Strongylosoma greeni, sp. n. 

 (PI. ii, fig. 14.) 



Colour (in alcohol) entirely pale ochraceous or testaceous. 



9 . Bod// attenuated in its anterior half. 



Head hairy below with a vertical sulcus above; anfennce long, the 

 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th segments sub -equal in length. 



Segments smooth and shining ; the 1st with convex anterior mar- 

 gin, rounded angle and posterior margin straight in the middle, not 

 sulcate ; the 2nd with an indistinct transverse sulcus, the keel pro- 

 jecting below the level of the angle of the 1st and the keel of the 

 2nd, produced forwards and downwards ; 3rd and 4th obsoletely 

 sulcate transversely, the keels very small, the 2nd, 3rd and 4th with 

 an elongate tubercle above the base of the legs; the rest of the 

 somites marked with a transverse sulcus ; the keels very small, 

 situated above the middle, not attaining the posterior margin of the 

 somites, the pores situated in their posterior half, keels on the 19th
