The sternite of the praegenital segment () is long, rectangular, situated between the large coxae of the gonopods (cog). I agree with the interpretation of Verhoefi relative to these parts. The telopodite of the gonopods {telg) is 2-jointed ;. iir^ Co)^. Vt Text-fig. 10.—Scutigerina iveberi Silv. Posterior end of ^J. the basal joints are coalescent in their basal half, and they are in- serted in the posterior margin of the sternite and in the coxa. The shape is the same as in Scutigera, with a bundle of bristles on the inside of the basal joint and a row of twelve teeth on the inside of the terminal joint. The female genital aperture is completely con- cealed by the gonopods, which are directed backwards and overlap the whole genital segment; the rest of this segment merely forms the margin of the large transverse aperture. The telson is the same in both sexes, and consists of a densely pubescent tergite {) and two subanal plates( ) con- nected by thin hairless membranes. Cape Province.—Table Mt.
