Extract

In 1913 Horace Gunthorp published his master's thesis, an annotated roster of the virtually unknown myriapod fauna of Kansas. At that time he reported the presence in the state of fourteen millipede and fifteen centipede species and so endeavoured to augment the pioneer work previously undertaken by F. W. Cragin in 1885.

Among the fifteen chilopods recorded in the 1913 paper were three new species, Geophilus dolichocephalus, Arenophilus osborni, and Lithobius kansensis–all names which have gone nearlv unnoticed in subsequent publications dealing with the North American fauna.
