Evans captured a few examples of this variety, two of which were sent to me, with the note that both specimens were found coming out of the same hole in the sand. The g major is typical, but the g minor is entirely orange yellow, with the gaster paler, and is altogether a stouter insect than the ☿ ☿ minor taken with
