10 Rowland M. Shelley 



1871 from the vicinity of Canyon City, in the John Day River Valley, 

 Grant County Oregon. This sample was discovered in the general 

 milliped collection and is unnumbered. 



Remarks — Harger's single gonopod illustration enabled Cook (1904) 

 to recognize that a male sent to him from an unknown locality in 

 Washington was referrable to armatus. Bollman (1893) had earlier 

 transferred armatus to Leptodesmus, a combination repeated by 

 Chamberlin (1911), but Cook (1904) assigned it to his new genus, 

 Chonaphe, a combination that subsequently has been recognized by 

 Attems (1931, 1938), Chamberlin (1949), Chamberlin and Hoffman 

 (1958), and Shelley (1990). Cook (1904) provided three additional 

 genitalia drawings, and I include here medial and lateral views of the 

 gonopod of a male syntype (Figs. 4—5). Five nominal species comprise 

 Chonaphe, but Hoffman (1979) thought these might be subspecies. I 

 (Shelley 1990) found few significant differences between these forms 

 and concluded that the genus might be monotypic with C. armata 

 being the oldest name. I am preparing a generic revision. 



ACKNOWLEDGMENTS— \ thank C. L. Remington and R. J. Pupedis 

 for providing access to the Peabody Museum holdings and subsequently 

 loaning Harger's types. The holotype of Taiyutyla curvata, housed at 

 the National Museum of Natural History, Smithsonian Institution, 

 Washington, D.C., was loaned by J. A. Coddington; the types of 

 Bollmanella bifurcata, housed at the Museum of Comparative Zoology, 

 Harvard University, Cambridge, Massachusetts, were loaned by H. W. 

 Levi. The conotylid from Baker County, Oregon, was discovered in 

 material loaned by G. B. Edwards, Florida State Collection of Arthropods, 

 Gainesville. Cathy Wood typed and retyped numerous drafts of the 

 manuscript, and figures 1-5 were prepared by R. G. Kuhler.
