18. Pseudotremia carterensis (Packard). 



Around the mouth of a well at the foot of the path leading from the 

 hotel, past Little Wyandotte Cave, 1 obtained live specimens of a C'ras- 

 pedosoma that seem to agree with the description of Pseudotremia 

 cavernarum carte reus is Packard from Rat, X, and Zwingler's Caves, 

 Kentucky. 



That this is a distinct species and not merely a variety of C. caver- 

 narum is distinctly shown by the male copulation foot, the size and 

 color of body, and its habitat. 



My largest specimen — a male — is 30""" long and 2.i )mm wide. 



19. Leptodesmus placidus (Wood). ^ 



Mr. Mottier has sent me two specimens of this rare species from Bos- 

 well, Benton County. 



20. Fontaria virginiensis (Drury). 



Common: Bloomington; Boswell; Westfield; Terre Haute; Conners- 

 ville; Brookville. This is the species described from Brookville by Mr. 

 McNeill under the name of Polydesmus butleri.* 



21. Fontaria coriacea Koch. 



Polydexmus corrugatws Wood, Proceed; Acad. Nat. Sci. Phila., 6, 1864 (Michigan, 

 New York). 



Common: Bloomington; Boswell; Kokomo; Wyandotte. 



A comparison of specimens of corrugata Wood with Koch's figures 

 and descriptions of coriacea shows that they are the same. Koch's fig- 

 ures show a broad yellow band along the posterior margin of each seg- 

 ment. This is a character common to the eastern specimens, but rare 

 in the western forms. 



22. Fontaria in dianae, sp. now 



Diagnosis: Belated to Fontaria coriacea Koch, but the copulation foot 

 expanded near the middle, end .angularly bent inwards, basal spine 

 bifid; lateral carina? more rounded; legs of male stouter; segments 

 always margined posteriorly with yellow. 



Habitat: Hagerstown and Brookville.
