NOTES ON PAUROPODA 59 



Notes on Pauropoda, with a brief description of a New 

 Species of Brachypauropas. 



By Richard S. Bagnall, F.E.S., F.L.S. 



Since the publication of my short paper on British 

 Pauropoda (present Trans., n.s. hi., pp. 654-659, pi. xix., 

 figs, n-25) I have examined some more local material, and 

 am able to give further localities for some of the species and 

 to record a new species belonging to the family Brachy- 

 pauropodidse — the least known of the three Pauropod 

 families. Unfortunately my best preparation of this latter 

 animal was accidentally destroyed after examination, and the 

 figure of the anal segment is from a rough sketch then made ; 

 the figure of the antenna is from a second example. 



I find particular pleasure in naming the species after Lord 

 Avebury — the discoverer of the Order Pauropoda. 



Family PAUROPODID/E Lubbock. 



I have now obtained Prof. Silvestri's valuable work on 

 Pauropoda. He goes wonderfully fully into the anatomy of 

 the animal, and describes several species that may reasonably 

 be expected to occur in this country. Our species gracilis 

 Hansen, vulgaris Hansen, and danicus Hansen, are referable 

 to the genus Allopauropus Silv. 



Genus PAUROPUS Lubbock. 

 Pauropus huxleyi Lubbock. 



From under a log of wood in a quarry near Penshaw. 



Genus ALLOPAUROPUS Silvestri. 



Allopauropus gracilis (Hansen). 



Common in the Penshaw district; on the Durham banks 

 of the Tees at Barnard Castle; Harbottle and Hartley, 

 Northumberland. 



A. gracilis, as well as vulgaris and danicus, occur in Italy.
