porigerous area, in the shape of the head, and in the more 
elongate last sternite, would seem to make it impossible 
longer to consider the Colombian specimens as belonging to 
mexicanus since the characters mentioned are constant. 
Accordingly, a new name is here proposed for the Colombian 
species described by Ribaut. 
Localities. — Colombia : Camelia, near Angelopolis ; San 
Lorenzo. A male taken at the latter place from a bromeliad 
on a tree at 5,000 ft. elevation July 22, 1913, may be desig- 
nated as the holotype. It is in the Museum of Comparative 
Zoology at Cambridge. A second male was taken at the 
latter locality under a log at 2,000 ft. elevation on July 25, 
1913. 
Taeniolimim panamicum, sp. nov. 
In general characters much resembling T. setosum Pocock 
of St. Vincent; but the similarly short antennse are slightly 
clavate instead of distinctly narrowing distad. The head 
appears to be more rounded anteriorly. The anal legs are 
similarly very thick proximally, narrowed distad, the last 
joint conical. The ventral pores are relatively sparse and 
are arranged across posterior border of the sternites, the 
poriferous area not sharply defined. Last ventral plate of 
moderate width, about as represented for T. setosum , simi- 
larly narrowing caudad. Two large coxal pores on each 
anal coxa, these partly covered by the last plate. 
Pairs of legs, 45. 
Length, 11 mm. 
Locality. — Panama : Changuinola District, Boc Taso. 
One male taken by F. R. Swift. The only other known 
species of the genus is the genotype, T. setosum Pocock, 
described from St. Vincent and not since reported. 
Leptynophilus, gen. nov. 
Among the known genera of Ballophilidae agreeing with 
Ballophilus and differing from all others in lacking chiti- 
nous lines on the prosternum of the prehensors. It may 
readily be distinguished from Ballophilus, as also from 
all the other genera excepting Txniolinum, in having the 
antennse attenuated instead of more or less clavately thick-
