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. 1917 Excerpt: ... to those shown in figures 486 to 494, excepting 481 and 483 which are different species closely related to C. tranquebarica. In figures 486 to 490 are shown a series representing the typical patterns in C. scutellaris; it will be noted that these parallel those of C. tranquebarica with most reduced markings. Also figures 491 to 496 show the pattern of the Great Basin group of species and varieties to which C. fulgida is closely related. These parallel some of the patterns of C. tranquebarica and are in turn paralleled by those of other species. Concentric extension of the white likewise characterizes the patterns of the group. Figures 497 to 501 show a series of patterns in C. pulchra which are roughly parallel to those of C. tranquebarica and very closely parallel to those of C. scutellaris. The commonest pattern of this species is, however, figure 498; 499 and 501 being rare and collected only near Alpine, Texas. Figures 503 to 505 show the series of patterns of C. longHabris which parallel the patterns of other species shown above and below. Figures 506 to 518 show a remarkable and long series of patterns of purpurea parelleling the entire tranquebarica series without the addition of Other species. The entire series is however different than the other series especially different from the tranquebarica series because of the short humeral lunule which always stops with spot Az.3 while that of C. tranquebarica is made up of A2 and B3 in oblique combination (see Fig. 49, PI. V). Figures 522 to 527 show the markings of the C. sexguttata group which parallel those of the other groups quite well throughout a series of five types. Figures 528 to 536 show a series of types belonging to five closely related species. The patterns at the extreme right show extensio...
