New Milliped Genus 
37 
wide at midpoint; margins not raised, smoothly continuing sternal slope, 
thickened along caudal edge. Gonopods (Figs. 4-5): prefemoral process 
short and subtriangular, cuneate; acropodite widest at base, expanded 
into flange along medial edge which terminates in short spur about 
midlength of acropodite; acropodite constricted and broadly curved 
cephalad at midlength, apically expanded and flattened, with rounded 
subterminal lobe on dorsal edge, subacute apically; prostatic groove 
crossing over from medial to lateral sides at midlength curvature, open- 
ing apically. 
Topotypes.— The topotypes are glossy black dorsally with red paranota 
and a suggestion of a stripe along the anterior edge of the collum. The 
metaterga, however, are without stripes. As shown in Figure 6, the 
gonopods of some topotypes differ from those of the holotype, 
being distinctly forked apically with a hoodlike lobe overhanging the 
solenomerite. There is only a trace of this indentation in the holotype. 
The brevity of the gonopods is most clearly revealed in situ (Fig. 2), where 
they overlap each other and extend barely beyond the anterior edge of the 
aperture. Cyphopods (Fig. 13) of female topotypes as described for
