A single specimen from : ‘‘ Amara, under clod, 13 ii. 1918.” 
This species belongs to a group of rather small Lithobiids having none 
of the tergites produced, and provided with more than four coxosternal 
teeth and 25 or more antennal joints. The group includes: devertens and 
magnus, Trotzina, 1893 ; magnus-pleodontus, Attems, 1904 ; and Vinci- 
guerrcB, Silvestri, 1895 (besides the two Italian species, infossus, Silv., and 
cryptohius, Silv., which are out of the question). 
The male of magnus-pleodontus bears a cup-shaped tubercle on the 
anal legs, and Vinciguerroi is a large species (26 mm.), the anal legs of 
which lack a coxolateral spine ; both 
have thus to be discarded. Trotzina’s 
devertens and magnus, both from the 
Alai Mountains, seem to approach very 
near to each other and to the new 
species, but neither of them is said 
to show sulci on the anal legs, and 
there is no evidence that they should 
stand as subspecies of the same form. 
Lithohius aeruginosus spinosior, 
n. subsp. 
This is the species already described 
in a previous paper (Myriapods collected 
by Mr P. A. Buxton, Proc. Bombay 
Nat Hist. Soc., in the press), under 
the name Lithohius ? aeruginosus, L. 
Koch, 1862. Considering the constancy of the characters recorded, it has 
been found advisable to give it a definite name. 
Two female specimens from : “ Amara, under clods, 13 ii. 1918.”
