Similar to the subspecies cressoni but with less fuscous at the wing 

 bases, the basal infuscation of the fore^ving extending only about 

 0.25 the distance to the basal vein.

This subspecies bears about the same color and geographic relation 

 to Priocnemioides unifasciatus cressoni as does Hemipepsis ustulata 

 ochroptera to H. ustulata ustulata. It is of interest to note that the 

 subspecies calif ornicus extends into Baja California and intergrades 

 with cressoni probably near the California-Arizona boimdary, while 

 the subspecies ochroptera does not reach Baja California and inter- 

 grades with its more eastern counterpart (subspecies ustulata) in 

 southern California.
