oides rostralis._ It should be added that, at this
writing, the lack of ideally complete material from southwestern
Colorado leaves some doubt as to the range of variation properly to be
included within the geographic range of _T. t. fossor._ Consequently,
study of a larger number of specimens from more localities in Colorado
may show that the boundary between the geographic ranges of _T. t.
fossor_ and _T. t. rostralis_ should be shifted from where we have
tentatively placed it.
_Specimens examined._--Total number, 168. Unless otherwise indicated,
those from Colorado are in the United States National Museum, Biological
Surveys Collection, and those from Wyoming are in the Museum of Natural
History of the University of Kansas.
