28 PROCEEDINGS OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM VOL. 1138 
Remarks: Only the type specimens are known. I have on several 
occasions made unsuccessful attempts to secure fresh material in the 
vicinity of Swannanoa. The color in life is unknown, but enough 
pigmentation remained in the dried types for Causey to observe that 
the tergites are brown, with the paranota and caudal margins faded 
reddish orange, and the ventral surfaces and legs yellowish. This 
coloration is similar to the living coloration of D. tela and mariana, and 
may be characteristic for the entire genus, as it is for Sigiria. 
On the basis of gonopod structure D. brimleii is certainly closest to 
brimleardia and mariana. Whether it resembles them in the form of 
the paranota cannot be stated at this time, the character being one 
that I did not observe at the time of studying the type of brimleit. 
My personal impression is that the three forms may be only geographic 
races of one polytypic species, something that can be checked with 
future field studies in western North Carolina. 
The peculiar form of the lateral margination of the segments in 
bramleu is not inconceivably the result of the type having been first 
dried and subsequently placed in alcohol. For the present I can only 
note the situation for the attention of the investigator who may secure 
fresh material. 
Distrisution: D. brimleit is so far known only from the type 
locality, in the Swannanoa Valley at the junction of the Blue Ridge 
with the Black Mountains. 
Deltotaria mariana, new species 
Fiaures 1,a,e—h; 2d; 4 
Typr specimens: Male holetype and female paratype, USNM 
2662 from the Pink Beds Recreation Area, Pisgah National Forest, 
8 miles north-northwest of Brevard, Transylvania County, North 
Carolina, collected on July 30, 1958, by R. L. and Marian S. Hoffman. 
Diacnosis: A moderate-size species of Deltotaria related to D. 
brimleardia, from which (as well as other members of the genus) it 
differs in the characteristic terminal formation of the gonopod telopo- 
dite, which is subterminally expanded with a prolonged solenomerite 
and with the subterminal process very small, thin, and acute. 
DESCRIPTION OF HOLOTYPE: Structurally similar to D. brimleii, but 
for the following particulars: 
Length 33.0 mm.; width of segment 6, 7.6 mm.; segment 12, 8.0 
mm.; segment 16, 7.8 mm. 
Tergites (in life) rich glossy brownish black, with caudolateral 
corners of paranota, posterior third of metatergites, epiproct, and 
circumference of collum bright orange-red; underparts pale yellowish 
tan, legs becoming bright yellow distally. Head and antennae (in 
life) brown.
