232 NEW NORTH AMERICAN DECTICINAE 



side of its ventral ridge; interspace between the fingers slightly widening 

 proximad, the bottom of the interspace biconcave. 



Coloration much as described in A. segnis, the pattern, however, with greater 

 depth and contrast in all but the most recessive type individuals. General 

 pale color of the head, thorax and sides of abdomen ranging from cream-buff 

 in the recessive individuals to honey yellow in the intensive specimens; pale 

 color of the dorsum of the abdomen ranging from cartridge buff to light 

 pinkish cinnamon, the median bar on the dorsum of the abdomen ranging 

 from clay color to russet. Eyes buckthorn brown to chestnut brown. Dark 

 pattern of pronotal disk blackish fuscous; in the recessive type this is limited 

 to a median and paired lateral touches at the cephalic transverse sulcus 

 and a median cloud at the cephalic margin, and spaced maculations about the 

 caudal margin of the same, this augmenting by extension and fusion of the 

 spots, and extension of a center of iiifuscation at the principal transverse 

 sulcus, until in the intensive condition we have the prozonal portion with a 

 nearly solid blotch, the vicinity of the principal transverse sulcus with three 

 infuscation centers, from which caudad on the rnetazonal disk irregular 

 lineations extend to the nearly solidly infuscate caudal margin. Lateral 

 lobes of pronotum with the cingulate margin regularly ticked with fuscous, 

 the surface with scattered small substrumose nodes of whitish. Abdomen 

 with the sides weakly washed with fuscous over the pale grovmd color, which 

 shows through in very numerous areolations, producing a similar but much 

 more evident pattern than the nodules on the lateral lobes of the pronotum. 

 Dark pattern on dorsum of abdomen blackish fuscous, the median bar, 

 described above, areolate much like the sides, the bar occasionally infuscate. 

 Limbs with the markings, as found in tegnis, infuscate, very evident in all 

 but the most recessive specimens. 



One male specimen has the sides of the abdomen and the lateral lobes of 

 the pronotum rather weakly washed with oriental green. This condi- 

 tion is exactly as in nature, while the other specimens in life had no green 

 evident.

 data as the type, and two paratypic males having the same lo- 

 cality and date, but taken at 4000 feet elevation. Tliis series
