A LIST OF THE MYRIAPODA OF MINNESOTA.* 



;Y CHARLES H. BOLLMAN. 



The following list of myriapods of the State of Minnesota is based 

 upon the material in my collection, which has been collected at two 

 points, Fort Snelling and Winona. 



Before I began my study of the myriapods of Minnesota, only one 

 species (Linotamia chionophila) was reported from this State. In this 

 paper I have recorded twenty-live species as occurring within the lim- 

 its of the State. I wish to express my indebtedness to Messrs. W. D. 

 and G. M. Howe for the material from Fort Snelling, and to Mr. J. M. 

 Holzinger, of the State Normal, for the material from Winona. 



A. — Fort Snelling. 



The material from this place was collected during the summers of 

 1886 and 1887. On account of the dry seasons the collections were 

 small; in fact, only nine species were obtained, against twenty-four 

 from Winona. 



1. Parajulus diversifrons (Wood). 



Julus sp.f Wood. Proc. Acad. Nat. Sci. Phila., 10, 1864 (Illinois) ; Wood, Trans. Amer. 



Philos. Soc, 197, 1865. 

 Julus diversifrons Wood. Proc. Acad. Nat. Sci. Phila., 43, 1867 (Texas). 

 Julus diversifrons Borre. Ann. Soc. Ent. Belg., 54, 1884. 

 Parajulus castaneus Bollmau. Ent. Amer., 21, 1887 (Ft. Snelling, Minn.); Bollman. 



Ann. N. Y. Acad. Sci., 35, 1887.- 



Besides the two type specimens of castaneus only a few were after- 

 wards found. 



2. Parajulus ellipticus Bollman. 



Julus ellipticus Bollman. Amer. Nat., 82, 1887 (Ft. Snelling, Minn.). 

 Parajulus ellipticus BaUman. Ann. N. Y. Acad. Sci., 35, 1887. 



The types of ellipticus were the only specimens obtained. 



3. Campodes flavicornis Koch. 



I have seen several specimens which agree well with those from more 

 southern and eastern localities, but the majority of specimens are small 

 (8-10 mm ) and strongly resemble Chordeuma. 



*This and the two following papers were brought to my attention some four years 

 after the preceding material Lad been passed upon by Dr. Underwood. It happened 

 that Mr. O. F. Cook was in Washington when the papers were found, and he con- 

 sidered them equally worthy of publication with the others. — C. V. Riley, Honor-
