Close agreement with the type is shown by all of the males of 

 deceptus in the distinctive form of the cercus. It is about two 

 and one-half times as long as its proximal width, curved decidedly 

 (moderately in one paratype only) inward, tapering decidedly in 

 proximal two-fifths due to the strong declivity and concavity of 

 the dorsal margin, the shaft mesad over one-half its proximal 

 width, then strongly enlarging in the distal three-fifths, its dorsal 

 margin mesad deeply concave in consequence, thence broadly 

 convex declivent to the decidedly subrectangulate (sharply 

 rounded to acute) disto-ventral angle, ventral margin of cercus 

 nearly straight (sometimes very feebly convex to distal portion, 

 in Siler's Bald and " Tennessee" males feebly concave in distal 

 portion only) . Subgenital plate with a prominent apical tubercle 

 in all but one paratype, in which that tubercle is stouter and 

 blunt.
