A much mutilated male specimen. 



The correspondence of the copulatory feet with those drawn by 

 Silvestri establishes the identity of 'the species. The colour, 

 however, is different. It is completely black, the legs and antenna? 

 alone having a slight tinge of brown. There is besides no trace 

 of the five stria? described by Silvestri on the 2nd tergite. This 

 and the last species seem to me to be very closely related. 



Glomeris infcscata Pocock. 

 From Gunong Inas, Perak State. 



CHILOPODA. 



Scolopendea subspinipes Haase. (Plate XXXII. figs. 66, 72, 

 75, 76, 99.) 



There can, I think, be no doubt that the specimens belong to 

 the species subspinipes ; but, as in many of the Myriapods in this 

 collection, there are small differences which need a description. 



Length about 120 mm. by 7| mm. 



Colour ochre, shading into faint orange on the underpart of 

 the head and at the end of the body, and into dark dull green at 

 the ends of the somites. 



Head round, narrowed in front and cut off behind. Antenna? 

 of 20 joints, reaching to the 4th somite. Maxillary coxa? with 

 plates in contact, each with five teeth — two very small, one large 

 and rounded, another two of medium size and well defined. The 

 basal projection stout and without teeth. The two dorsal furrows 

 are discernible on the 3rd somite. 



The dorsal plates are margined after the 5th, but the margin is 

 not strongly marked till the 8th. The pleural appendages have 

 two sharply distinct spines, but on examination with a higher- 

 power lens one sees another dark-coloured elevation at the side, 

 which is an imperfect spine. The projection on the anal femur 

 has four spines, two sharp and two not much elevated. The 

 femoral spines are arranged on the internal and under sides of 

 the femur, the two other sides being without them. They are 

 arranged in longitudinal rows. Looking at the under surface 

 and beginning from the outside, one counts 2, then 3, then 3; 

 then passing to the inside beneath the spur there are 2 and 2. 

 Besides the ones just described there are nine others. Of these 

 two are small, two medium-sized, and five large. Both the small 

 ones show the condition of the pleural appendages possessed by 

 the specimen just described, viz., more than two spines at the 

 end. In the case of these small young specimens there are two 

 large spines and two small ones. In all the larger specimens 

 there are only two spines. In all of them there are five maxillary 

 teeth, except iu one specimen, where there is another doubtfully 

 distinguishable. The anal femoral spine also shows in the small 

 specimens four spines at the end, while in the larger tnere are 

 but two. In the larger animals the colour somewhat resembles a 

 dull ochre or olive-brown, while the first two somites are clearer
