The recent annotated list of Virginia centipeds (Hoffman, 1995) admitted 56 species confirmed for the state as well as 19 others considered as likely to be found here. Yet, despite ongoing collecting efforts in the past six years, disappointingly little augmentation of the original total has taken place. We take this occasion to put on record three species of the family Schendylidae new to Virginia, two of them more or less anticipated, the third so far out of its known range as to be of particular biogeographic interest. With these additions, Virginia is known to harbor no fewer than six species of schendylids, the greatest number recorded for any state, and hardly equalled by any area of comparable size in the world. Yet it is entirely probable that additional endemic species remain to be discovered here.Facultad de Ciencias Naturales y Museo
