THE MYEIAPODA OF NORTH AMERICA. 



'231 



Yellowish-brown f ; dorsum moderately convex, medianly lightly oanalioulate ; antennea small, liliform, pilose; 

 surface of the scuta rough, obscurely transversely canaliculate; last scutum furnished posteriorly with a series of 

 obtuse spines; lateral laminae long, narrow, scarcely separated; segments 47; feet shortly pilose.

In our specimens, which have heen preserved for a long time in alcohol, the color is a 

 light yellowish-brown. The anterior scuta are tubcrcnlate, the posterior merely roughened.

Each has a more or less obsolete transverse groove extending all across the lateral lamina;. 

 The latter are very long and narrow ; they are placed very close together, and arc often 

 bent slightly backwards. Their external margin is somewhat oblique, and is furnished in 

 all except, perhaps, the most anterior, with a pore. The small feet are entirely concealed 

 beneath the broad body. The male appendages (Fig. 61) consist of two pairs of acute 

 feet-like processes. It affords me much pleasure to dedicate this species to Medical In- 

 spector John L. Le Conte, U. S. A., as an acknowledgment of the many assistances which 

 he has afforded me in the prosecution of my studies.
