son of Ascanius, born in Lavinium. In the succession to the kingdom of Alba, Æneas Sylvius, the son of Æneas and Lavinia, was preferred to him. He was, however, made chief priest.

zoology; a genus of insects of the order aptera. The feet are very numerous, being on each side twice as many as the segments of the body; the antennæ are moniliform; there are two articulated palpi; and the body is of a semicylindrical form. 1. The terrestris is a small species, having on each side 100 very short closely set feet. The body is cylindrically round, consisting of fifty segments, each of which gives rise to two pair of feet; by which means the feet stand two and two by the side of each other, so that between every two there is a little more space. Its colour is blackish, and the animal is very smooth. It is met with under stones, and in the earth. 2. The fabulosus is of an athen-colour, smooth, and sometimes has two longitudinal bands of a dun-colour upon its back. The body is composed of about sixty segments, which appear double; one part of the segment being quite smooth, the other charged with longitudinal striae very close-set together, which causes the cylindric body of the insect to appear intersected alternately with smooth and striated segments. Each segment gives rise to two pair of feet, which makes 240, or 120 feet on each side. These feet are slender, short, and white. The antennæ are very short, and consist of five rings. The insect, when touched, rolls itself up into a spiral; so that its feet are inwards, but yet turned towards the ground. It is found together with the preceding one, to which it bears a resemblance, though it is much larger. There are other species.
