<br />This species seems to ue distributed t.l1rol1ghout the Colorado River Basin :md is extremely \'a.ri.
<br />able. Compareu with specimens from ~nlt Ri\"p.r at Tempe, Ariz., ours frow Green River differ in th6
<br />o1.l\'ionsly smaller e~-e anu the possihly wider union of tile ;;ill.mewhraues with the isthmus. If, OD
<br />fllrtl1er lDve~tigatiou, a northern form is fOUlld separ:1.ule from the sonthern, it will hear t.he name
<br />"am'ell Cope. The following is a detailed description of tbe six examples taken hy D8 in Green Riv6J:
