or yellowish red body when mature, with a dark spot on each side, 
but sometimes it is greenish. Length of body, .4 to .5™™. Lives 
under a loose fine web on the under side of leaves of various plants. 
Others were apparently 7. tilarius (fig. 228), a common “red spider” 
of conservatories in Europe and America. It doubtless occurs here 
in abundance, at certain times. Both are very injurious. “ 
A small, undetermined, yellowish white mite, probably of the 
genus Uropoda, was found strongly attached by a filament, in a 
cluster, on the posterior dorsal surface of the body of a Pangcus, a 
black cydnid bug (see fig. 175, p. 801). It has a short-elliptical 
body, convex above and flat below, with a chitinous integument; 
legs short. It is immature and probably undescribed, (t. N. Banks.) 
Doubtless many more Acarina are common, but the mites have been 
very little studied here.* .

Only about seven or eight species of myriapods are known from 
the Bermudas, all of which, except perhaps the Spirobolus, have 
probably been introduced by man. The largest and most important 
is the Centipede.

This is common, at least in many parts of the Main Island, as at 
Bailey Bay and Walsingham. It is found under stones, old logs, 
* The Mange-mite of cattle (fig. 224a); that of the horse (Psoroptes equt) ; and 
the Chicken-mite or Bird-mite (Dermanyssus avium Dug., fig. 224b) are known 
to occur.
