being rather long ; the sixth is thick, barrel-shaped, not quite one-half as 
long as the fifth, but scarcely thicker; the seventh joint is unusually long, 
a little more than three-fourths as long as the sixth joint ; the end thick 
and well rounded, with the usual tactile large flattened sete ; the 3-7th 
joints with long dense sete, a few in the end of joint 5 longer than any on 
joints 6 and 7%. The sete on the body arise from tubercles arranged as 
usual in a scalene triangle, and the sete themselves are half as long as the 
body is thick; they are considerably shorter and finer than in Scoterpes. 
The number of pairs of legs in the male is 47 ina specimen 8™ in length, 
in the female there are 48 pairs. The sixth pair of legs of the male are 
somewhat longer and much swollen, the suture between joints 8 and 4 is 
very slight, the two joints together forming an ovate section of the leg a 
little thicker than the length of the second joint ; terminal joint long and 
slender, considerably longer than joints 8 and 4 together. The 2-jointed 
eighth rudimentary pair of legs are longer-and larger than in Scoterpes 
copei, the basal joint nearly twice as long, while the second (terminal) 
joint is larger and swollen, and besides being larger, ends in three or four 
fine minute setx, instead of a short claw, as in Scoterpes. Length 8™™, 
The male genital armature is very minute and rudimentary, and has 
already been described in a general way ; with but one species as yet 
known, it would be unsafe to assign their specific characters. The two 
inner lamine are quite unequal in length and development, and the arma- 
ture in general shows signs of degeneration, as though the species had 
originated from some form in which the male armature was more com- 
pletely developed. Nine specimens were found by us in New Market 
and Luray caves, and about twenty in Weyer’s cave, Virginia; Luray 
cave, Virginia (Dr. C. A. White, Ryder). 
This species in size and general appearance would be easily mistaken 
for Scoterpes cope’, which we at first, from a too hasty examination, sup- 
posed. it tobe. Mr, Ryder’s excellent description characterizes the spe- 
cies, but his figures are indifferent, the third joint of the male is much 
more swollen in our specimens; and the normal leg (his fig. 8) is drawn 
too slender, while the front of the head is not correctly rendered. In our 
Specimens drops of a yellowish secretion were attached in alcoholic speci - 
mens to the base of many of the sete, indicating the presence of repugna- 
torial glands, though no pores could be found, On breaking the body in two 
nearly ripe eggs occurred in June; they were rounded, oval; length 
about 3",
