RemarJcs. — Mr. Rhoads's type, from Banning, is an intermediate, 

 not typical of the desert phase of this species, but, as it is not clearly 

 the subspecies intermedia, I prefer to consider it as representing the 

 present form rather than to apply a new name. I am indebted to Mr. 

 Khoads for the privilege of comparing the type.
