Recent sampling at Picolata, St. Johns County, Florida, the probable type locality of Scolopendra marginata Say, produced specimens of the large scolopendromorph, Hemiscolopendra punctiventris (Newport) (Scolopendridae), with a \"margined\" color pattern similar to that reported in the original description of S. marginata. Accordingly, we resurrect this name from the synonymy of S. morsitans L. and propose Hemiscolopendra marginata (Say), n. comb., as a senior subjective synonym for S. punctiventris Newport, syn. nov.! A neotype is designated for S. marginata and deposited in the invertebrate collection at the Virginia Museum of Narural History. A full synonymy is provided for H. marginata, along with a review of its nomenclatorial history and distribution.

New localities are reported to detail the distributions of the order Siphonophorida and the family Siphonophoridae in the southwestern and southcentral United States, and northern Mexico. The northernmost sites are in Los Angeles County, California; Yavapai County, Arizona; and Coryell County, Texas. The Siphonorhinidae is represented by only one genus and species, Illacme plenipes Cook \& loomis, known only from northern San Benito County, California, the northernmost ordinal record. Congeneric starus is confirmed for Siphonacme lyttoni Cook \& loomis, in Arizona, and S. pseustes (Chamberlin), in Sonora, Mexico; Californizonium Verhoeff is synonymized under Siphonacme Cook \& loomis. Diagnostic illustrations are presented for I. plenipes, S. lyttoni and pseustes, and Siphonophora limitare Loomis and texascolens Chamberlin \& Mulaik.

Calianotus, n. gen., is proposed for three small California polydesmids in which the gonopodal tibiotarsus arises basally and the endomerite possesses a lateral branch and two shorter distal projections. Brachydesmus (Brachydesmus) yosemitensis Causey, occurring in the Sierra Nevada from Calaveras to Tulare counties, is the type species; Polydesmus sastianus Chamberlin is assigned to the representative occurring in the upper Sacramento River Valley, in the Mt. Shasta area of Shasta and Siskiyou counties; and Brachydesmus bituberculatus Loomis, occurring east of San Francisco Bay in Contra Costa and Alameda counties, is transferred into the genus. Calianotus is related to Scytonotus Koch; relationships within the genus are sastianus + (bituberculatus + yosemitensis). The identity of Phreatodesmus hastingsus (Chamberlin), plausibly referrable to Calianotus, cannot be assumed because the original illustrations are meaningless and the vial with the holotype now contains two different polydesmids, one of which occurs in Idaho. Topotypes are needed to determine its identity and generic placement.

The new xystocheirine genus Parcipromus is proposed for Xystocheir cooki Causey and two new species from the Sierra Nevada Range; they occur from Kings River Canyon, Fresno County, to the Greenhorn mountains in southern Tulare County. The genus occurs at the highest elevations of any Nearctic xystodesmid taxon, as its species live in or near Giant Sequoia Groves at 6-7,000\&$\#$39;. Characterized in part by a simple, undivided, and curved acropodite, and a prefemoral process on the outer (caudal) side of the prefemur, Parcipromus differs markedly from other tribal components that possess two or more separate acropodal projections and a prefemoral process on the inner (anterior) surface. The species are distinguished primarily by the acropodal configuration, the length of the prefemoral process, and, if present, the size and shape of the latter\&$\#$39;s lateral spine. Descriptions are presented for the new taxa along with diagnostic illustrations and a key to species.
