The L. parvuhos of Normand, to which may be allocated L. brunneus var. pygmasa 

 of E. J. Lowe, is remarkable for its small size, which scarcely exceeds half-an-inch 

 in adults when fully extended. They are described as paler than the typical form. 



Notts.— i. brunneus var. pygmaia, not common under stones and at roots of 

 sedges, at margin of lake, Highfield House, near Nottingham, and common at 

 Beeston, E. J. Lowe. 



France— i. parvulus, Valenciennes, Department of the Nord (Normand, op. cit. ). 



Belgium— i. ^aw-OTf^MS, Chaudtontaine near Lifege, June 1871 (Van-den-Broeck, 

 Bull. Soc. Mai. Belg., 1871, p. li). 



Geographical Distribution. — A. Icevis as an aggregate form seems 

 almost cosmopolitan in its distribution, being found not only throughout 

 Europe, but has been recorded from South Africa, Siberia, Alaska, Canada, 

 and the United States of North America. 



It has also been reported from the West Indies, Central and South 

 America, Australia, and Polynesia. 



In the British Isles this species is apparently widely dispersed, and 

 probably exists in every comital and vice-comital area into which the 

 kingdoms are divided. 



Probable Range of 

 A. Itevis cantpestris.
