Aliatypus trophonius new species 
Figures 61, 74, 87, 95, 116, 172-173- Map 4. 
Type specimens and etymology. Holotype male from 4.5 mi. 
north of Soquel, Santa Cruz Co., California, 13 October 1971 (W. 
R. Icenogle). One male and nine female paratypes. Trophonius was 
a Boetian oracular god who snatched inquirers underground to give 
them revelations. 
Diagnosis. Males: The palpus of this species (Fig. 116) is quite 
different from that of all other species, except A. erebus and A. 
plutonis. The OCS is quite broad to near the tip where it suddenly 
tapers to a fine point. Because of proportionately short appendage 
articles, a strongly swollen pedipalpal tibia (Fig. 87), and relatively 
large close-set anterior median eyes, any one of the following ratios 
(Table 1) will separate A. trophonius from nearly all other species: 
CL/IFL, CL/ITL, CL/IML, CL/PPL, PTT/PTL, CL/PTT, 
CL/AMD. A. trophonius is small, so that many dimensions, espe- 
cially PFL and PTL (Table 1) are useful diagnostically. The most 
similar species, A. erebus , can be separated from A. trophonius best 
with the following ratios (Table 1) CL/PCA, CL/ITarL, and 
CL/AMD. Also, A. trophonius has a proportionately shorter prox- 
imal branch of the ICS base (Fig. 116) and a relatively broader 
conductor just proximal to the conductor tip than does A. erebus. 
Females: A. trophonius has relatively short leg I articles and rela- 
tively large, close spaced, posterior sigilla, so that it can be separated 
from any species by using the appropriate ratio from among the 
following (Table 2) : IFL/IVFL, CL/IFL, CL/ITL, CL/IML,
