This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1922 edition. Excerpt: ...as the burrows of its young. Shelford names the whole association from this form, although the adult animal is found quite as commonly back in the next association. Here, too, particularly in the transition area, is the large tiger beetle (Fig. 145). The white ant is abundant under the logs. Digger wasps are still in evidence, though of species different from those of the preceding zone. The black ant, Lasius niger axnericanus, builds its nests in the sand. The mottled sand locust, the migratory locust, the narrow-winged locust, and the sand locust are pretty well confined to this zone. The Fig. 160.--Longhorn mottled sand locust (Fig. 155) is small, the beetle, Monohammus female being about 1 inch long, the male.8 of an inch. The inner wings are yellow with a dark, curved median band. The antennae are as long as the hind femur. The tibia is coral red with white rings. The lesser migratory locust (Fig. 157) is also small, about the same size as the preceding. The femur of the hind leg is reddish yellow and bears two oblique dark bars across the upper outer face. The knees are black. The lower part of the face is usually pink. The inner wings are thin and colorless. The narrow-winged locust (Fig. 158) is also small, slightly under an inch. The antennae are shorter than the femur of the hind leg. The hind tibia is pale blue or bright red. The inner wings are transparent and colorless. The sand locust (Fig. 159) is small, the male being.6 of an inch long, the female.8 inch. The animal is dull brown, the hind tibia is bright scarlet with a basal white ring. On the juniper several spiders are found, Philodromus alaskensis, Xysticus formosus, Dendry Fig. 161.--Metallic wood-boring beetle, Chaleophora liberta. phantes octavus, Theridium spirale, all...
