NOTES ON A COLLECTION OF MYRIAPODA FROM MOSSY CREEK 

 TENN., WITH A DESCRIPTION OF A NEW SPECIES. 



BY CHARLES H. BOLLMAN. 



The following list of myriapods is based upon an extensive collection 

 made at various times by Mr. Charles B. Branner, of Mossy Creek, 

 Tenn. As the material was collected in all seasons of the year, and a 

 large number of species found, it is safe to say that this list is almost 

 complete. 



Notes on a small collection made at Mossy Creek and other places 

 in Ea.st Tennessee, by Dr. John C. Branner, were published in the Ann. 

 N. Y. Acad. Nat. Sci. for 1887 ; but in this list there are no species men- 

 tioned as occurring at Mossy Creek which have not been found by Mr. 

 Charles B. Branner. 



I here desire to express my sincere thanks to Mr. Charles B. Branner 

 for the numerous specimens he has so kindly sent me. 



1. Andrognathus corticarius Cope. 



Common. The number of segments vary from 55-65 in the adult 

 specimens. The fifth and sixth antennal joints are not united as Cope 

 has stated, but are distinctly separate, the sixth being the largest joint. 



2. Nemasoma minutum (Brandt). 



In one lot of material sent were six specimens of this species. 



3. Parajulus pennsylvanicus (Brandt). 

 Abundant. 



4. Cambala annulata (Say). 



Abundant. All the specimens of this species which I have received 

 from East Tennessee and North Carolina (Balsam and Chapel Hill) 

 are very large (45-52 nmi ), and of a very dark-brown shade, while those 

 which I have examined from other localities (Indiana and Arkansas) 

 are much smaller (26-38 mm ) and of a light yellowish-brown shade. 

 Specimens from the latter localities may represent a geographical 

 species, bat it is hard to say what form Say described, although his 

 description may apply to the former, as his specimens were from Georgia 

 and Florida. 



5. Lysiopetalum lactariurn (Say). 

 Very common.
