158 DR. F. WOOD JONES ON THE | Feb. 16, 
ARACHNIDA anp MYRIAPODA. 
By A. S. Hirst, F.Z.8. 
The Arachnida collected by Dr. Wood Jones include several 
species which are well-known to be distributed through human 
agency. Of the few remaining forms, two spiders and one 
myriapod seem to belong to undescribed species, but it is 
probable that they will prove to be Malayan or Kast Indian forms 
which have been introduced through trade with these regions 
or have reached the islands by natural means. 
SCORPIONS.

(3) PuysocycLus GLogosus Taczaon Taczanowski. 
Widely distributed in the tropical regions of the world. 
(4) NepHina IMPERATRIX C. K. 
An adult female example, which apparently belongs to this 
species, was collected by Dr. Wood Jones. It differs from Koch’s 
description of the species in having the abdomen marked ventrally 
with two dark median patches, the anterior one being square 
and separated from the smaller posterior patch by a whitish line. 
The British Museum possesses examples of this form from 
Buitenzorg, Java, and from Australia (Keyserling Coll.)
