In the common form of the species to which I refer the above 

 name the basal half of the sixth abdominal segment is piceous as 

 well as the whole of the fifth segment; but one or two specimens 

 taken in company with the typical form and agreeing with it in 

 every other respect have only the fifth segment piceous.
