DESCRIPTION OF NEW GENERA AND SPECIES OF NORTH AMERI- 

 CAN MYRIOPODA (JULIDjE.) 



BY C. H. BOLLMAN. 



In examining the material of this family in the museum of the Indiana 

 University and my own collection, I have found that the following 

 species do not appear to be described: 



Family A.— JULLD^, Leach. 

 Genus I. — Nannolene, gen. nov. 



Antennae short, subclavate, joints longer than wide, second and sixth 

 subequal, the latter enlarged as in Gamoala. Mandibulary combs 6 (5) ; 

 Gnathochilarium somewhat spatulate, stipes separated attenuated at 

 the base, mentum entire, exposed, promentum divided almost as in Gam- 

 balaor Iulomorpha; lingual lobes denticulated. Segments constricted in 

 the middle, the anterior ten segments striate from the feet to the pore? 

 stria 1 diminishing on the others; at the junction of the anterior and 

 posterior parts of almost every segment are round impressions, larger 

 than the repugnatorial pore, which extend around all the segments ex- 

 cept the anterior 6-8. Eepugnatorial pore commencing on the sixth 

 segment, placed in the posterior part. Fourth segment footless. Feet 

 long and slender. Male : First pair of legs short, usual number of 

 joints, somewhat thickened, unarmed; penultimate joint of the sixth 

 and seventh pairs of legs produced on the inner side. 



This genus is related more to Gambala, than any other, although it 

 approaches Iulomorpha in the form of the promentum. The following 

 species is the type : 

 Naiinolene burkei, sp. nov. 



Light brown, a lateral row of large brown spots, a brown band be- 

 tween eyes. Slender, not smooth or pilose. Vertex smooth, a faint 

 median sulcus, setigerous foveohe absent. Antenna?, equaling the width 

 of body, pilose. Eyes distinct, triangular; ocelli 2 to 5. Segments 50 

 or 51. Sides of first-segment striate, others moderately striate beneath, 

 posterior margin of each segment with fine parallel stria 3 . Last seg- 

 ment rounded; anal valves not marginate, pilose; anal scale obtusely 

 rounded, pilose. Eepugnatorial pore small, not touching the trans- 

 verse suture. Pairs of feet about 87, extending beyond the sides of 

 62
