 NOTES ON A COLLECTION OF MYRIAPODA FROM CUBA. 



BY CHARLTCS II. BOLLMAN. 



This paper is based on a small but interesting - collection of myria- 

 pods that I have received from Prof. Felipe Poey, of Havana, Cuba. 



As Prof. Poey did not mention any particular locality in the island 

 of Cuba, I suppose that most of the species are from the vicinity of 

 Havana. 



I desire to tender my thanks to Prof. Poey for the material I have 

 received from his hands, and to Dr. Juan Gundlach for a specimen of a 

 Hentigera. 



The types of the new species have been deposited in the U. S. Na- 

 tional Museum. 



1. Siphonophora portoricensis Brandt. 



Siphonophora portoricensis Brandt, Bull. Acad. St. Peters))., 1836 (name only, teste 

 Gervais); Brandt, Eecueil, 50, 1841 (name only, teste Gervais);- Koch, Syst. 

 Myr., 143, 1847 (name only); Gervais, Apteres, 209, 1847 (name only); Peters, 

 Monatsber. kon. preuss. Akad. Wiss. Berlin, 549, 1864 (first description); 

 Karsch, Ann. Soc. Ent. Belgiqne, 166, 1884. 



Siphonophora cubana Karsch, Mittkeil. Miincli. Ent. Ver., 144, 1880; Borre, Ann. 

 Soc. Ent. Belgiqne, 81,1884. 



I have received from Prof. Poey a dried Siphonophora, which I have 

 been unable to separate from either Siph. portoricensis Brandt, or Siph. 

 cubana Karsch. 



Concerning the differences between tliese two species, Karsch, under 

 his description of Siph. cubana, says: 



"An eadem species cum Siph. portoricensis Br., qua tamen capite basi latiore, rostro 

 multo breriore et prcecipue longitudine multo minorc satis differre videtur f " 



As such differences are practically valueless, it is best to consider 

 Siph. portoricensis and cubana as forming* one species. 



2. Nannolene cubensis, sp. nov. 



Diagnosis. — Related to Nannolene burlcei Bollman, but the circular de- 

 pressions along the transverse segmental sutures not extending all 

 around the segment as in burlcei, but only to the repugnatoriai pore. 



The following differences are also worthy of note: 



Dark brownish-blue, posterior border of segments brown, an indis- 

 tinct row of lateral spots, antenme and legs light-brown. Ocelli dis-
