CHAMBEBLIN: MYRIOPODi OF THE aistkai.i.w region. 67 



Metal angle of COXa of first maxilla produced, the process somewhat more 

 robust than in /•'. lahasan us. ( 'oxosternum of second maxillae with a median 



chitinous, oon-apeolated band separated from lateral regions. Pore angular 

 m outline. 

 Armature of presternum and prehensors normal. The teeth of femuroid 



Lower and broader than in the preceding species, the distal one greatly exceed- 

 ing the proximal one, broadly conical, the width at base exceeding the height. 



Teeth of next two joints rounded, the second the larger. Claw with a robust, 



rounded, bulging prominence at base. 



Sternal impressions furcate, the angle obtuse. 



Sternite of pregenital segment more moderately narrowed caudad, notched 

 on each side a little in front of caudal end as in the preceding form. Coxo- 

 pleural pores very numerous, small and minute. 



l'airs of legs, forty-nine. 



Length of type, about 75 mm.; width of first plate, 3 mm. 



155. Ectoptyx TURUCANUS, sp. nov. 

 Type.— M. C. Z. 2,137. Fijis: Turuca (W. M. Mann). 



Coloration in general similar to that of the preceding species, the same 

 network and marbling in black being present. 



Head of same general form as that of preceding species but relatively broader, 

 in the type only about 1.4 times longer than broad. Clypeal region of same 

 general character. 



Labrum with ciliary line exposed at each side. Median piece cuneate, the 

 sides straight and the anterior margin convex at middle much as in E. 

 kabasanus; once and a half, or somewhat less, as long as greatest w r idth. 



Mandible with thirteen lamellae of which the outermost is greatly reduced, 

 being little more than a slender, acute point with vague serrations. The first 

 lamella with nineteen teeth not stouter than those of the other lamellae, 

 gradually decreasing caudad. Teeth of a median lamella about eighteen in 

 number. 



Ectal angle of coxa of first maxilla produced forward. Coxosternum of 

 second maxillae with median area as usual. Pores narrowly and longi- 

 tudinally subelliptic in outline. 



Teeth of presternum and prehensors nearly as in E. labasanus. 



Sternal impressions furcate, the angle as a whole obtuse, more nearly 

 reel angular toward apex. 



Ventral plate of pregenital segment somewhat more strongly narrowed 

 caudad than in E. kabasanus, notched as usual. Coxopleural pores as usual. 



Fairs of legs, forty-nine. 



Length, 45 mm.
