transverse suture deep, not tuberculate. Lateral plates thick and ob- 

 tuse, scarcely produced. Repugnatorial pore situated on the posterior 

 third and slightly beneath, sunken. Male: Genitalia long and slender, 

 somewhat expanded and excavated towards the end, which is bind. 

 Length of body 27 mm ; width, 2.3 m,n .

This species is described from one male and one female, both in a 

 rather bad condition. I have named this species after its collector — 

 Dr. Felipe Poey — who also sent me in the same collection Oiphiuvits 

 brasiliensis, Mechtoccphahis guildingii, Scolopendra alternans, and Neic- 

 portia longitarsis. 



3. Geophilus salemensis, sp. nov. 



Frontal plate present, anal pores moderate. Light red, head, antenna?, 

 last segment aud feet orange. Robust, slightly attenuated anteriorly, 

 more strongly posteriorly, moderately smooth, sparsely punctate and 

 pilose. Prehensorial feet punctate and pilose ; sternum wider than long 

 (8:6), anterior margin not produced; coxa? scarcely longer than wide 

 (3.5:3), unarmed; one small tooth. Cephalic plate longer than wide 

 (7:5.5), suboval, sparsely punctate and pilose; prebasal plate exposed; 

 basal plate about three times wider than long. Antennae moderate, 

 joints rather long, two preceding the last not noticeably shortened. 

 Dorsal plates plainly bisulcate ; anterior predorsal plates equal to pos- 

 terior, median longest; ventral plates with a median foveohe, sparsely 

 punctate. Spiracles round, anterior large, median and posterior small. 

 First pair of feet moderately short and slender, anterior and posterior 

 subequal. Posterior coxa? moderately inflated, pilose, pores few and 

 mostly concealed by the last ventral plate, which is wide, with the sides 

 substraight and rapidly converging. Pairs of feet of male 51-54, last 

 strongly crassate and densely pilose, armed; female 51-50, last slender, 

 armed, aud pilose. Length of body, 35-G0 mm ; width, l-2 mm . 



Habitat. — Salem, Indiana. 



I have examined five males and four females of this species. It is 

 more related to Geophilus rubens Say. 



4. Geophilus setiger, sp. nov. 



Frontal plate absent; anal pore large, concealed. Orange, head and 

 antenna? brown. Slender, moderately attenuated posteriorly; smooth, 

 sparsely pilose. Prehensorial feet sparsely pilose, smooth, not punctate ; 

 sternum wider than long (4:3), anterior margin not produced; coxa? 

 wider than long (2:1.5), unarmed; one single acute tooth. Cephalic 

 plate suboval, longer than wide (4:3.5), smooth, sparsely pilose; basal 

 plate much wider than long (4:1.3), partly covered by cephalic plate. 

 Antenna? short, joints moderate, two preceding last subequal. Dorsal 

 plates distinctly bisulcate; anterior predorsal plates short, median 

 longer than posterior; ventral plates with three longitudinal depres-
