nected in tibial groove and on inner side, giving the appearance 

 from below of a single, very broad fascia. In wyomingianum 

 the hind tibiae seem to be more often annulate with pale basally, 

 and are less vivid in color. In zvyomingianum the pubescence 

 of the hind femora seems to be more highly developed than in 

 scndderi, but individuals vary much. The color of the body as 

 a whole is very similar, but zvyomingianum has more of a yel- 

 lowish cast, while in scndderi reddish or rusty predominates. 

 This difference, however, is doubtless due merely to the character 

 of its haunts." 



Occurs in dry, open, upland fields. Niantic, Thompson, North
