REVISION (^F ELEODIINI BLAISDELL. 155 



equal to the second ; the third is about two-thirds as long as the pre- 

 ceding segment and one-third longer than the fourth. 



Insularis has the abdominal salient about equal in width to the 

 length of the third and fourth segments taken together, and about 

 one-fourth of its width broader than the metasternal process. The 

 metasternum laterally l)etween the coxse is about as long as the width 

 of a metafemur at base. 



, Suhiu'fen.s has the intercoxal process equal in width to the length 

 of the second segment and about one-fourth of its own width broader 

 than the metasternal process. The metasternum laterally betAveen 

 the coxa" is as long as the width of a mesotibia at apex. 



The intercoxal abdominal salient in (/onji is quite wide and equal 

 to the combined lengths of the third and fourth segments and about 

 one-third of its width greater than that of the metasternal process. 

 The metasternum laterally between the coxaj is equal in length to the 

 width of a mesotibia at apex. 



In striolatd the intercoxal process of the abdomen is quite equal in 

 width to the length of the second segment and about one-third of its 

 width greater than that of the metasternal salient. The metasternum 

 is quite short laterally between the cox?e and about equal in length 

 to the width of a mesotibia at middle. In the female the abdominal 

 process is evidently not as wide as the second segment is long. 



Fusifortnis has the abdominal process comparatively narrow, being 

 about equal to the length of the third segment and subequal in width 

 with the metasternal salient. The metasternum laterally is short and 

 about equal to the width of the mesotibia at middle. The same re- 

 sults of comparison can be applied to opaca that have been obtained 

 from fuHiformis. 



The above notes on the relative Avidths and lengths of the sterna 

 and abdominal segments can only be considered in a general way as 

 being apj^roximately correct, as there is always more or less indi- 

 vidual variation in each species. 



In summing up it will be noticed that the coxce are most widely 

 separated, and the intercoxal process of the first abdominal segment 

 reaches its greatest Avidth in uiSulurU and subnitcn.s; that in fih^ii- 

 formis and opaca they reach their greatest approximation, and that 

 the intercoxal salients are quite equal; that goryl and stnolata are 

 somewhat intermediate, but really more nearly like the first tAvo 

 named species than the last two. 



Dffitnhufio)!. — Irif<id(/ris, as far as knoAvn, is an insular and peninsu- 

 lar species, inhabiting the southern part of LoAver California and an 

 adjacent island. 



Sulmitens inhabits central and southern Arizojua. I knoAA' of no 

 record of its having been taken in Mexico, but it may occur there. 



Goryi is taken in New Mexico, Texas, and Mexico.
