CHAMBERLIN: CHILOPODS FROM MEXICO AND WEST INDIES. 497 
Spiracles obliquely and mostly narrowly elliptic. 
Anterior tarsi undivided. Tibia with one distal spine, none being 
present on ventral side. 
_ Antepenult legs with tarsus undivided; prefemur with two ventral 
spines and femur with one. ‘The immediately preceding pairs of legs 
have one spine on femur and prefemur, these becoming bristle like 
cephalad. 
Penult legs with prefemur bearing along ventral line two slender 
spines. Femur also bearing two ventral spines in a line, one of these 
being at distal end; in addition there are on mesal side toward distal 
end two additional similar spines. The biarticulate tarsus bearing a 
few long bristles ventrally, mesally, and dorsally, but ectally with 
numerous shorter and much finer hairs; the more proximal articles 
with but few bristles. 
Tibia of anal legs unarmed; very much thicker than the tarsus, 
somewhat clavately widening distad and at ventroectal corner of dis- 
tal end bearing a conspicuous cylindric process; sparsely clothed with 
bristles. First tarsal joint strongly clavately widening from base 
distad and compressed laterally; extended on ventromesal side at 
distal end into a conspicuous conical process; clothed with few long 
stiff bristles; clearly less than half as long as the tibia. Second divi- 
sion of tarsus abruptly much thinner than the first article is distally, 
its proximal article about half as long as the first division; articles of 
. distal division, six to eight, clothed sparsely with long bristles like those 
of the preceding articles. Femur armed along ventromesal line with 
two small spines, one toward proximal end and one at or a little proxi- 
mad of the middle; otherwise unarmed; clothed sparsely with 
bristles. Prefemur with a ventral row of three stout spines which are 
clearly shorter than the diameter of the article and are distally bent; 
along median line of mesal surface near middle of length with two 
spinules and along dorsomesal line with a series of five or six longer 
acute spinules; immediately ectad of ventral spines two short spinules 
and below middle of ectal surface about six longer spinules like those of 
the dorsomesal line; elsewhere bearing only hairs, which are sparse. 
Length near 19 mm.
