Locality. Cuba. 



According to de Saussure this species resembles B. Sallei, but 

 is a little larger and flatter ; the keels are better developed and 

 situated higher; the upper surface of the metasomites is furnisbed. 

 with a few scattered granules, and the posterior border of each 

 keel has one or two dentiform granules ; there is a shallow trans- 

 verse sulcus between the keels, for the rest the dorsum is smooth 

 and shining. 



Length 35-44 mm. 



*Odontopeltis MAGNUS (BoUman), Proc. U. S. Nut. Mus. 1888, 

 pp. 336,337. 



This species was described from Cuba. It was based upon a 

 mutilated female of which the first six segments and the head 

 had disappeared. The fourteen segments that remained mea- 

 sured 22'5 mm. in length, so that the entire specimen must have 

 been upwards of 30 mm. long. 



Mr. Bollman declared this species to be related to 0. morantus 

 of Karsch from Jamaica. It appeared to diifer, however, in the 

 presence of an indistinct row of tubercles along the anterior and 

 posterior margins of the segments, and a few on the lateral 

 carinas. 



The upper surface is marked with a transverse sulcus. The 

 keels are large and strongly marginate, the anterior angles 

 rounded and the posterior much produced. The pores are large, 

 subapical and marginal. 



Colour brown, legs light chestnut.

 (1839).

Locality. Porto Rico. 



The description given by Brandt is the only one that I have 

 seen of this species. Peters merely refers it to its correct 

 genus. 



According to Brandt, the colour is blackish, with the posterior 

 border of the segments pale ; all the segments are very smooth 

 above ; there is, however, a granule at the base of the keels on 

 some of the segments.
