CHAMBERLIN: CHILOPODS FROM MEXICO AND WEST INDIES. 519 
distally rounded and projecting cephalad of directly mesad; femuroid 
only vaguely bulging proximad of the tooth. 
Anterior margin of prosternum armed with two pale nodular teeth, 
one each side of the narrow and shallow sinus, these much closer to 
each other than either is to the corresponding prehensor. Sides 
nearly straight, only very slightly converging caudad. Wider than 
long in ratio 21:19. Nearly 1.4 times longer than greatest length of 
femuroid. 
Dorsal plates as usual showing in part a median sulcus in addition 
to the paired ones. 
Prescuta short to very short. 
Anterior spiracles large, vertically subelliptic, somewhat narrower 
ventrally than dorsally. Decreasing in size caudad and gradually 
becoming circular, those of the caudal region small as usual. 
Ventral plates with the usual deep median longitudinal sulcus which 
is deepest when crossed by the weaker transverse sulcus behind 
middle. 
Last tergite with sides straight, distinctly and considerably converg- 
ing caudad. Caudal margin straight. Plate much longer than wide 
(ratio about 19:15). 
Last ventral plate narrow. Sides conspicuously converging caudad, 
somewhat incurved toward anterior end and excurved toward the 
caudal. 
Coxopleurae much enlarged and elongate, densely finely porose as 
usual. 
Anal legs much longer than the penult; nearly as in cubae. 
Pairs of legs 65. 
Length near 26 mm.

TELOCRICUS MAJOR, sp. nov. 
Head and anterior portion of dorsum dark ochraceous, with a paler 
median longitudinal line; becoming yellow caudad. Antennae ochra- 
ceous. Prosternum chestnut, the prehensors paler, more ochraceous. 
Venter anteriorly dark ochraceous, caudally becoming yellow like 
the dorsum. 
Body gradually and conspicuously narrowed caudad from the 
middle but scarcely at all narrowing cephalad. Body and legs in 
caudal region densely clothed with fine short hairs, these becoming 
more and more sparse cephalad. 
Head anteriorly semicircularly rounded; caudal margin wide,
