No description of this species need be here added, for it has 

 been well figured by de Saussure and described in detail by 

 myself under the name of Scolopocryptops Meinerti.

£odi/ robust, attenuated posteriorly. 



Co?o?^rfuseo-castaneous or ochraceous above ; head and maxil- 

 lipedes castaneous. 



Head longer than wide, nearly parallel-sided, its posterior 

 angles rounded ; coarsely punctured, and with simple margins. 

 Antennce only moderately long, composed of 17 segments, o£ 

 which the basal two are naked. 



Maxillipedes coarsely punctured ; coxae very wide, with an- 

 terior border widely and shallowly excavated, without teeth, but 

 thictened ; the femoral tooth large and conical. 



Tergites smooth, polished, punctured, from the 3rd to the 21st 

 bisulcatOj, and from the 7th to the 21st with raised margins. 



Sternites punctured, not sulcate. 



Anal somite small ; tergite neither sulcate nor marginate ; 

 pleurae not spined above, covered with larger and smaller pores, 

 the process and posterior border only being smooth, the process 

 very long ; sternite posteriorly narrowed, its hinder border emar- 

 ginate. Legs long, slightly pubescent distally ; the spines of the 

 femur large, the inferior one being especially long and strong ; 

 tarsus unarmed, claw not spurred. 



Legs for the most part with tibial and tarsal spurs, the 22nd 

 pair not spurred ; all the claws without conspicuous basal spurs. 



Length up to 60 mm. 



Locality. St. Vincent {S. H. Smith). 



The example measuring 60 mm. is the type of Scolopocryptops 

 longiceps from Brazil ; the example from St. Vincent is but 45 mm. 



When I published the description of Sc. longiceps I had not 

 seen an example of this genus from St. Vincent. But since 

 Mr. H. H. Smith obtained a specimen from this island, whence 

 Newport's type of Sc. melanostoma was recorded, I have decided
