J. Rodgers - 1943 Eumeces gilberti rubricaudatus Mar. 25, 1943 Mrs. Vert. Zoöl., Univ. Calif., Berkeley, Calif. Description of 19 specimens of acc.no. 7017, collected on Mar. 20, 1943 west slope of Smith Mountain, 500-800 feet, by Alice Kerr and sent in to MVZ alive.

On the distal half the orange extends to the dorsal surface, where it shows thru the grayish tan dorsal color. 3737 has a tail that is about 5/8 of the original + a 7/8" reg. tip. It is shell pink ventrally; the pink is confined to the median wide row of scales and the inner half of the next row out. Dorsally, the tail is the same as the general body ground color. Specimens mentioned by numbers so far are females, the following are males. 3647 has a bright orange tail, ventrally. The orange extends dorsally where it shows thru the brownish dorsal ground color of the original color and is bright and clear on th
