REPORT UPON TWO COLLECTIONS OF MYBIOPODA. ?"1 



Number of somites about 40 ; length about 35 ram. Punduloya 

 (Mr. Green). 



Like Sp. spiro.strepfiHiis of Karsch in having lonw antennae, in the 

 position of its pores, &c. But differs in sculpturing, Sp. sjnrostreptinus 

 having the upper part of its segments roughened with longitudinal striae. 

 f^piroholus loiigiconm, sp. n. 



( PI. ii, fig. n.) 



Colour (in alcohol); head fusco-testaceous, antennse testaceous, 

 infuscate at the apex, legs ochraceous, somites ■with ferruginous 

 posterior portions, fuscous anterior portions, anal somite paler. 



Head and face smooth, vertex marked with a slender sulcus ; face 

 marked with a sulcus, and furnished with 2 pores on each side ; 

 antennae long as in the preceding species ; eyes composed of about 

 30 ocelli. 



Somites; rollnin finely reticulated, not produced inferiorly so low 

 as the second somite, its inferior angle less narrowed, more rounded, 

 with convex posterior and lightly concave anterior border, pos- 

 teriorly striolate, anteriorly marked with a marginal sulcus ; posterior 

 part of the rest of the somites scarcely higher than the anterior, and 

 ornamented throughout with exceedingly fine, close-set, sub-parallel 

 striolae, but these striolse, instead of being absolutely longitudinal, 

 are slightly oblique, diverging slightly from the median dorsal line 

 which is a little elevated, the anterior portion with scobina, marked 

 below laterally with longitudinal striolae continuous with those of 

 the posterior portion, and above with a distinctly defined reticulated 

 network formed by the anastomosis of striolae; pores above the middle 

 in the hinder half of each somite, the first scarcely below the level of 

 the rest. Anal somite punctulate and striolate, produced above into a 

 short, blunt, markedly compressed process which projects a little 

 beyond the margin of the anal valves; valves convex with borders 

 compressed ; sternite conspicuously angled. 



Legs slender, elongate, with a single seta on the under edge of each 

 segment. 



Number of somites 40-42 ; length up to about 32 mm. 



Punduloya (Mr. Green). 



Resembles the preceding species and Sp. spirostreptinus in having 

 long antennae, but differs from both in colouring, in being furnished
