Boisduval (Entomologie liorticole, pp. 53-G4) characterizes the common 
INIyriopoda of Gardens. He adopts the orders Diplopoda and Cliilopoda, and 
describes under the former Julus sahuloms, J. fragariarum, and J. terrestrisj 
and under the latter Scutigera coleoptrata, Cry plops hortensis, C. savignyif 
Litliohius forcipatus (figured p. Gl), and Gcophilus carpophagus. 
Chilopoda. 
Lucas communicates an example of ovoviviparous reproduction in a Scolo- 
pcndra living in Guiana. The female produced 40 young Scolopendr^, mea- 
suring about 20 niillimetres in length, each composed of 21 segments, which 
was the number in the mother. Bull. Soc. Ent. Fr. 18G8, p. xlvii. 
Meinert lias supplemented the paper upon tlie Danish Geo- . 
pbilidse published by himself and Bergsoe by a memoir on the 
Scolopendridse and Lithobiidse of Denmark (Naturh. Tidsskr. v. 
pp. 241-268). Of the former group he describes Cryptops agilis, 
sp. n. [I. c. p. 244), which, however, is probably identical with C. 
savignii (Leach). The Lithobiidoe he regards as forming two 
tribes — the Scutigerini, unrepresented in Denmark, and the Li- 
thobiini, upon the characters and anatomy of which he dwells 
at considerable length, and of which the following known species 
are described by him: — L.forficatus (Linn.), L. coriaceus (Koch), 
L. agilis? (Newp.), L. hucculentus (Koch), L. crassipes (Koch), 
L. erythrocephalus (Koch), and L. calcaratm (Koch). Meinert 
characterizes a new genus as follows : — 
Lamyctes^ g. n., Moinort, 1. c, p. 2GG. Labrum froo, deeply incised in the 
middle, dentate, narrowly and scantily fringed at the sides ; mandibles with an 
entire series of small dentate seto3 behind the larger dentate setm ; first pair 
of maxilla) with ramose and simple seta) ; second pair of maxilla) (labium) 
small, with a few simple seta) ; first pair of maxillar feet with a 5-partite 
claw 5 (eyes with a single ocellus) ; legs all unarmed j larger claw with a 
large seta; claw of 5 generative organs round, entire. Sp. L. fuhicornis, 
sp. n., Meinert, I, c. p. 2G7, Jylland and the islands. Meinert remarks upon
