THE MYRIAPODA OF NOKTH AMERICA. 23 



This species is described from one specimen collected by Mr. Walter 

 D. Howe. It is related to Lithobius pull us, but is distinguished by its 

 larger size, the joints of the antennae, the coxal pores, and a few points 

 about the claw of the female genitalia.

Habitat. — Illinois (Rock Island), Indiana (Bloomington), Michigan 

 (Ludington, K. B. Pierce). 



I have examined a large number of specimens of this species from 

 Bloomington, Ind., and one from Ludington, Mich.

 tral plates pale.
