in colour. In the largest the green tinge of the end of the 

 somites is almost gone. The length of the largest specimen is 

 130 mm. without the anal legs ; the length of the anal legs 

 25 mm. S'nallest specimen 65 mm.; anal legs 15 mm. The 

 number of spines on the legs varies from five to thirteen; there 

 are, however, alwa^'s two in a line beneath the femoral spine, 

 looking at tlie animal from above, giving the appearance shown 

 in Haase's plate. 



ScoLOPENDRA HARDWiCKii Haase, var. nov. (Plate XXXII. 

 figs. 101, 102.) 



Two specimens, the structure of which corresponds so closely 

 with that described by Haase, that they nnist be put down as a 

 variety of that species in spite of the great difference in colour. 



Colour. A dark copper-colour all over, a little lighter on the 

 ventral surface. Claws black. 



Bead broad and round, narrowed in front. Depression in front 

 between the eyes, resembling a frontal furrow. Antennae with 

 19 joints reaching to the 3rd somite. Poison-claws strong, 

 with rather incons])icuous basal projection which has two small 

 prominences. Maxillary teeth six, clear and regular. The plates 

 on which the teeth are placed have a trans\erse furrow at their 

 base. The top of the head is slightly punctated. The dorsal 

 furrow begins from the 3rd somite. The margins of the dorsal 

 plates begin from the 5th somite and are clear and prominent. 

 A-^entral furrows distinct. The rest of Haase's description applies, 

 with the exception of the spiue on the first metatarsal of the 

 pra^anal legs. I can find no such spine in these specimens. 

 Also the pleural appendages have two spini^s at their points. 



The length of this specimen is 140 mm. bj 12 mm. Anal legs 

 23 mm. 



The second specimen is curiously malformed. The prasanal leg 

 on one side has the first two joints about the normal length, but 

 thin and flat ; they are followed by three very short thick joints. 

 The anal leg on the same side is small and slender, smaller than 

 any of the other legs and without any spines. 



ScoLOPENDEA AEiNGENsis, sp. nov. (Plate XXXI. fig. 46, and 

 Plate XXXII. figs. 67, 85, 8(3, 93.) 



Prom Kuala Aring, Kelantan State. 



This species bears a great resemblance to Sc. meyeri Haase, and 

 I think is closely related to it. The points of difference are, how- 

 ever, sufficient to make it necessary to describe it as a new species. 



Length 80 mm. by 8 mm. Anal claws 25. Antenna) 20-jointed. 

 Length of head 7 mm. ; breadth of head 6| mm. 



Colour dark olive-green. Head and 1st somite dark brown 

 with greenish tinge. The middle part of the tergites is rather 

 brown than green, the green tinge being more apparent on the 

 edges. The antennae and legs are clear yellow-brown, but the anal 

 legs are olive-b.rown with a green tinge after the first joint, 'i lie 

 sternal plates are- olive-brown.
