DESCRIPTIONS OF FOURTEEN NEW SPECIES OF NORTH AMER- 

 ICAN MYRIAPODS. 



BY CHARLES H. BOLLMAN. 



The present paper contains descriptions of fourteen species of myria- 

 pods which I believe to be new. 



The types of all have been presented to the U. S. National Museum. 



I take pleasure in acknowledging my indebtedness for specimens to 

 Prof; George F. Atkinson, of the University of South Carolina ; to Dr. 

 Richard D. Owen, of New Harmony, Ind. ; to Mr. Charles B. Branner, 

 of Mossy Creek, Tenn.; to Mr. and Mrs. Carl H. Eigenmann, of San 

 Diego, Gal.; to Mr. Charles L. Edwards, of Johns Hopkins University; 

 to Mr. James H. Burke, of Ukiah, Gal., and to Mr. Frederick G. Test, 

 of Westfield, Ind. 



1. Parajulus ectenes, sp. nov. 



Diagnosis. — Allied to Parajulus pennsylvanicus (Brandt), but the form 

 of body much more slender, the repugnatorial pore not touching trans- 

 verse suture, which is straight, and the male genitalia entirely different. 



Type. — U. S. Nat. Museum. 



Habitat. — Chapel Hill, Orange County, N. C. 



Description of type. — Very dark brown, almost black, light spots 

 more or less confluent and indistinct, joints of antennae tipped with 

 white; legs brown, slender; segments pilose and sulcate, a,sm penn- 

 sylvanicus. Vertex not sulcate, setigerous foveolae present. Antennae 

 scarcely subclavate, longer than width of body. Ocelli distinct, $ 7U-9, 

 $ 60-8, arranged in a snbtrapezoidal patch. Last segment not pass- 

 ing beyond anal valves, which are pilose and notmargmate; anal scale 

 obtase-angled. 



Number of segments, $ and 2 67. 



Pairs of legs of female, 120. 



Length of body: $ 46 mra , width 1.6 ram , antennae 2.7 mm ; 5 length 

 54 mm , width 1.8 ,nm , antennae 1.9 mm . 



1 have a single pair of this species, collected by Prof. George F. At- 

 kinson. In the same collection there is a young Parajulus that prob- 

 ably belongs to this species. This species differs from any other by 

 the slender body and peculiar form of the male genitalia, which 1 have 

 not described here, but will do so in a paper relating to the genus. It 

 may be worthy of remark that at present I consider the Julus pilosis- 

 cutis of Wood as identical with P. pennsylvanicus (Brandt). His de-
