This species is very close to H. texanus, and appears to 
replace it over the south center of its range. It may be 
differentiated from texanus by the markings of the legs, 
which are always evenly and prominently infuscated (dot- 
ted in texanus), and by the short mediuncus in the male. 
The pattern on the thorax is about the same as texanus, 
except for the submarginal pronotal stripes, seldom pre- 
sent in texanus. The vertex pattern is the same, but the 
spots are more sharply delineated than in most specimens 
of texanus. 
In the past, specimens of fidelitas have mostly been con- 
fused with intermedins, which has no dots on the mesoscu- 
tellum, and a single dark band across the vertex (the an- 
terior vertex row has become fused with the antennal 
band) .

Head capsule and mouthparts largely pale; a dark in- 
terantennal mark, which below is confined to area between 
antennal bases, with an anterior dark median line, and 
above fades out near anterior vertex scars; vertex scars 
usually not pigmented, consist of anterior transverse line, 
followed by a pair of spots (unpigmented in holo- and allo- 
type, brown in Yermo specimens) and a posterior row of 
a median triangle and a transverse line each side. Labial 
palpi (Figure 41) extremely long and slender, apical half 
of terminal segment distended, area surrounding sensory
