ON THE MYRIOPODA OF BURMA 431 H. striatum by possessing six segments to its anal legs ; its anal pleurae are less inflated and its tergites are comparatively smooth. The figure of this species on Plate XXIV of vol. XXI of the Journal of the Linnean Society, is erroneous in some par- ticulars. Thus the antennae are too slender in their distal half, the head is too rounded anteriorly, the claws of the maxillary feet are too short and too curved and the anal pleurae should have been porous. 32.

Himantosoma porosum, sp. n. Body anteriorly and posteriorly at- tenuate ; body and limbs hairy. Colour pale ochraceous above, testa- ceous beneath. Head-plate (fig.) convex, sub-quadrate, almost covering the maxillary feet. Maxillary sternite (fig-) less depressed in the middle than in the preceding species and slightly longer from before backwards; the claw more slender and less blade-like, scarcely overlapping the head-plate in front. Antennae (fig.) long, incrassate, apical segment ovate and twice the length of the preceding segment. Tergites smooth, but hairy, not bisul- cate, very obsoletely wrinkled in the middle of the body. Sternites thickly and coarsely punc- tured and hairy, not bisulcate, with an anterior circular porous area and a posterior transverse porous area, the two separated by a feebly indicated median transverse Himantosoma Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Museo civico di storia naturale di Genova (Italy).
