DIAGNOSIS. — There are only three other irrorated Laccophilus that occur within the range of L. m. decipiens in western North America. All three, L. mexicanus, L. fasciatus terminalis, and L. proximus, are smaller than decipiens. Almost all decipiens exceed 5.2 mm which is a maximum length for any of those three. L. proximus which overlaps decipiens east of the Rocky Mountains, attains a length of only 4.6 mm. All males and most females of L. mexicanus have black on the venter instead of brown or reddish-brown as in decipiens. Some females of mexicanus from coastal California and Oregon have brown venters, however, and a careful comparison of size and elytral pattern is necessary to separate the two species. L. mexicanus has a more uniformly irrorate pattern. L. f. terminalis, on the other hand, is less evenly irrorate than decipiens and has a checkered appearance when viewed megascopically. Some depigmented specimens are not checkered, but they are much paler than decipiens.
L. in. decipiens differs from L. m. maculosus in its larger size (5.1 to 6.4 mm as compared to 4.7 to 5.8 mm), more evenly irrorate pattern, and the structure of the aedeagus. It is quite similar to L. m. shermani in size, color and pattern (figs. 276-279), but differs in the more anterior position of the female epipleural flange, a finer coxal file (about 45 lines to 35), and in the aedeagus. It is flattened at the tip in decipiens and twisted with a sinus and incomplete hook at the tip in shermani.
NOMENCLATURAL NOTES. — The synonymy has been confirmed except for truncatus Mannerheim and calijornicus Motschulsky. Dr. F. N. Young has examined the female type of fusculus Sharp and has sent me a camera lucida drawing and there is nothing to distinguish it from numerous specimens of decipiens. It is probably not shermani Leech since the epipleura are not expanded; and Nevada, given as the type locality, seems to be entirely out of the range of that race. Since the description is based on a single female specimen and there is no precise locality, it is probably impossible to be certain. Motschulsky's calijornicus was taken at San Francisco, California, and could conceivably prove to be either L. mexicanus atristernalis Crotch or L. fasciatus terminalis Sharp. Crotch (1873) had, however, synonymized truncatus and calijornicus when he described atristernalis and presumably knew their identity. Mannerheim's truncatus was described from Alaska and the Pribilof Islands which is within the range of biguttatus Kirby and it is remotely possible that it could be a synonym of that frequently misidentified species. I have examined LeConte's type and compared it to a specimen collected by H. B. Leech from Stanislaus County, California, and could find no difference other than that of normal individual variation.
VARIATION. — Although exhibiting more variation than L. m. maculosus, decipiens has relatively little considering its enormous geographical range and ecological and topographic amplitude. Specimens from near the Coast and in Nevada, however, do appear to be darker with more suffusion of color between the dots and a more pronounced delineation of the marginal clear areas than those from the Rocky Mountains and Great Plains. The lateral spots may also be
smaller. Specimens from Wyoming appear faded when compared to coastal ones.
The mean length of males is about 5.8 mm and that of females about 5.6 mm, with an overlap of males and females of about 50 percent. This contrasts with maculosus in which about 75 percent or more of the males and females overlap. The variation among localities is slight and an analysis of variance for 240 males from eleven scattered localities for total length shows no significance at the 95 percent level.
The PW/EL ratio also shows a strong uniformity within decipiens. Mean values vary from 0.598 to 0.626 for eleven localities. The ratio does show, however, that decipiens in addition to being slightly larger than m. maculosus, is also relatively wider. The latter has mean values ranging from 0.580 to 0.600. The ratio is about the same for L. m. shermani as decipiens, but the former may be slightly narrower since there are five samples with values below 0.595 (none in decipiens).
An attempt was made to count the lines in the metacoxal file of specimens from different localities. There was no apparent geographical difference. The highest count was 50, and was found in both Wyoming and Oregon specimens and the lowest count was 40 in individuals from Utah and California. The average number was about 44. Only about five to ten percent of the females have epipleural flanges. — L. m. decipiens (fig. 3) ranges from northern Baja California to Alaska along the Pacific Coast. It extends eastward to Alberta and central Colorado. It intergrades with shermani along the northern edges of New Mexico, Arizona and into eastern Riverside County, California. There is a single specimen from Hale County in the northern panhandle of Texas. It occurs from sea level to 9000 feet. The principal difference between the habitats of decipiens and maculosus is that the former is found in or near coniferous forest instead of temperate deciduous forest. Practically any non-marine aquatic environment other than large lakes and streams provides suitable habitat for the adults. CANADA. — ALBERTA.
