J. Roagan - 1943 2. Ennebus gilberti rubricaudatus Mar. 25, 1943 Mrs. Vert. Pool, Univ. Calif., Berkeley, Calif. regenerated tip. This is the smallest specimen, but is probably past the stage when the real pink juvinal tail color of rubricaudatus is evident. 3646 has the same orange but lighter. 3645 has light orange on regenerated part only; the rest of the tail has no pink or orange. 3650 has the same situation, but tail generally lighter and orange bright. 3648 has orange labials (the only one with orange labials - none have pink). The under side of the head back to the throat is light on the pink. The ventral surface of the tail is shell pink; the pink covers the ventral 3 rows of scales, and extends up into the brownish dorsal surface. Just the small regenerated tip of 3651 is light pink ventrally. Reg. tips of 3653 and 3654 are not pink. The regenerated tips of females, no 3639 and 3641 have a faint tinge of blue, those of 3643 and 3644 are white ventrally, as are 3653 & 3651/80.
