Table 34. — Variation in Spilotes pullatus mexicanus 



♦STENORHINA DEGENHARDTII MEXICANA (Steindachner) 



Ten specimens are in the Museum, from "hills west of Veracruz," 

 Veracruz (Nos. 5313-4) ; Orizaba, Veracruz (No. 6322 [2]) ; Mirador, 

 Veracruz (Nos. 25013-6) ; "Mexico" (No. 12086) ; Tehuantepec, Oaxaca 

 (No. 30416). The latter probably is not from Oaxaca, as no other 

 specimens are recorded from Pacific slopes ; if the "Isthmus of Tehuan- 

 tepec" is intended, then the Atlantic slopes are implied, and therefore, 

 probably the state of Veracruz. 



STENORHINA FREMINVILLH FREMINVILLII Duroeril and Bibron 



Two specimens (Nos. 110513-4) are from San Jose Lachiguiri, 

 Oaxaca (20 km. southeast of Miahuatlan). Ventrals 174, 162, respec- 

 tively; caudals 32 ( 9 ), 40 ( S ) ; supralabials 7-7; infralabials 7-7; 

 preoculars 1-1; postoculars 2-2; temporals 1-2; loreal 0-0; nasal 

 broadly in contact with preocular. Ground color gray; five dorsal 

 black lines ; belly white, unpigmented ; a black temporal stripe. 



The Museum has four others, from Guichicovi, Oaxaca (No. 30090), 

 Tehuantepec, Oaxaca (No. 31415), and "Mexico" (No. 11374 [2]). 



♦STENORHINA FREMINVILLI APIATA Cope 



Six Mexican specimens are in the Museum, from El Barrio, Oaxaca 

 (No. 70405, type), 81 Chichen Itza, Yucatan (Nos. 46396, 46563-4), and 

 Cordoba, Veracruz (Nos. 30518-9). The locality for the last is proba- 

 bly erroneous, as there is no other indication that the race occurs west 

 of the Isthmus of Tehuantepec. 



STENORHINA FREMINVILLII LACTEA Cope 



One specimen (No. 110515) is from the vicinity of Tehuantepec, 

 Oaxaca. It is a female, with 178 ventrals, 31 caudals, 7-7 infralabials 



81 Cope, 1876, p. 142.
