made up the first component of the diverse minute polydesmid fauna of the Pacific Northwest to be recently described. The general appearance of the two previously described species is typical of the tiny polydesmids, with large, setose heads, relatively small collums with scattered setae, and metazonites with toothed margins and with rows of setae on prominent sockets. Alveolate cuticle is confined to the head, epiproct and sometimes the anterior margin of the collum. The epiproct is short and not swollen. The gonopods are somewhat variable from species to species; the two described by
