TRANS. S. D. Soctery NATURAL History 
ied with black and pale. Rostrum black reaching the hind coxe. 
Male smaller and narrower than the female, the markings 
much obscured, the scutellum with indications only of the white 
lateral spots and pale median line, the whitish arcuated basal lines 
distinct. 
Described from numerous examples taken about San Diego 
on the chaparral. During the spring of 1913 it was abundant but 
the present season I have seen but few. Females living on the red 
manzanita bushes become clear castaneous with the characteristic 
markings much broken and obscured, the clearly marked grey 
forms were taken on the Adenostoma where their color harmon- 
izes perfectly with their surroundings.
