no. 3630 CLEPTORIA — HOFFMAN 15 



Gonopod aperture broadly oval, its lateral ends broadly rounded 

 and extending laterad beyond both coxal sockets and stigmata. Lateral 

 edges with rounded margins, anterior and posterior edges about level 

 with adjoining segmental surface. Prozonite reduced to narrow trans- 

 verse strip in front of aperture. 



Gonopods large and massive, telopodites extending cephalomesad 

 with apical halves usually overlapping. Each coxa subglobose, distally 

 slightly produced into short subcylindrical portion at coxotelopodital 

 joint; length of coxae, exclusive of sternal apodeme, about equal to 

 length of telopodite. No coxal apophyses formed, upper side with two 

 or three subterminal macrosetae in usual position. Prefemur globosely 

 enlarged, about equally bisected by seminal groove into convex 

 glabrous elevation on coxal side, and densely setose region on adcoxal 

 side. No indication of prefemoral process evident. Femoral division 

 of telopodite broad, compressed, with distinct projecting marginal 

 lobe on coxal side; femur rather strongly curved at about midlength, 

 bringing distal half of gonopod mesially over base, dorsal margin 

 produced into wide thin flange. Femoral division terminated by dis- 

 tinct obliquely transverse constriction that is subtended by field of 

 large setae, texture of postfemoral surfaces much smoother and more 

 shiny. Postfemur apically bent proximad at more than right angle, 

 outer edge of arc produced into large rounded lobe adjacent to bisecting 

 axis of angle formed by seminal groove (fig. 7) ; distal half of postfemur 

 strongly convex, forming elevated, striate ridge carrying seminal 

 groove out to bluntly acuminate tip of gonopod. Mesal side of post- 

 femur with small but distinct submarginal flange. 



According to Bollman, the type-specimen shortly after preservation 

 was dorsally brownish with red paranota, the antennae, legs, and 

 underparts yellow. The several specimens in my collection, however, 

 appear to have had yellow paranotal spots and yellow legs prior to 

 preservation. Obviously, additional field observations are desirable to 

 confirm this apparent polymorphism in coloration. 



Distribution — Central to northeastern Georgia, in the Piedmont 

 region. There is so far a lacuna of nearly 100 miles between Macon, 

 Ga., and Auburn, Ala. (where the species is represented by a geo- 

 graphic variant) ; certainly specimens eventually will be discovered in 

 west-central Georgia also. The folio wing material has been examined: 



GEORGIA: Bibb County: Macon, d" holotype, collected by L. M. Under- 

 wood, August 1887, USNM. Clarke County: wooded hillside, 9 miles west of 

 Athens, 1 cf, collected by Hubricht, May 6, 1961. Putnam County: upland oak 

 woods, 6 miles northeast of Eatonton, 1 d\ collected by Hubricht, May 7, 1960, 

 RLH. Lincoln County: 4.2 miles south of Lincoln ton, 1 9, collected by Hu- 

 bricht, May 1, 1960, RLH [agrees structurally with males of C. rileyi and is in the 

 right geographic area to be this species].
