 and white ; a dark band and three white spots, lorming a /\ between 

 the eyes. Slender, finely wrinkled above, not pilose. Vertex with a 

 very faint median sulcus ; setigerous foveolae absent. Antennae mo. 

 derate, equaling the width of body. Eyes distinct ; ocelli, 8 or 9, ar- 

 ranged in a single, longitudinal, curved series behuid the antennae. 

 Segments, 35-45 ; sides of the first segment striate ; other segments 

 moderately striate beneath ; last segment rounded, pilose ; anal valves 

 not marginate, pilose ; anal scale small, rounded, pilose. Repugna- 

 torial pore placed in the posterior division, small, not touching the 

 transverse suture, which is straight. Pairs of feet, 55-70 ; slender, 

 not extending beyond the sides of body, sparsely pilose. Length of

Habitat, Virginia, Florida and Indiana. 



I^have examined a number of females of this species from 

 Bloomington, Indiana, and also the types of Julus lineatus 

 McISTeill, Mss. (Pensacola, Fla.), but I cannot find any difference 

 between them and my other specimens, which I have identified 

 with minutus. Specimens not in full color have the lateral row 

 of spots bi'onze red, and with a backward pointing branch, at 

 the upper posterior side.
