Diodophis omilbis gutchellus
Jawbone Guard Station, Tuolumne Co., Calif.
Adult, collected by J. H. Carnie, April 15.
The dorsal color is Castor Gray. Mid-
centrally - between Flame Scarlet and
Marsdenia Red. Sub-oral slightly
deeper than Scarlet.
The ventral color covers the first, second,
and much of the third row of dorsal
scales. The lower half of the first 6
labials is the ventral color, sharply
remarked from the gray head color by
a black superior margin which lines
the labials.
Black spotting on the venters is sparse but
well defined.
