Hah. — Sonoran Region. 



A single specimen obtained in 1872 in Middle Utah. In 1873 and 1874, 

 the species was found to be quite numerous in Colorado, Arizona, and New- 

 Mexico, frequenting rocky places, and exceedingly hard to catch. Color of 

 throat yellowish-orange, of abdomen white ranging to greenish-olive. 

 The general coloration depends much upon the color of the rock upon which 

 they are found. 



The specimens marked XXX and XXX 1 are apparently very closely 

 allied to U. stansburiana, B. & C, but vary in some points and may prove 

 to be a new species, or a variety of the one they resemble.
