Materials Examined
Material Examined: USA. California, Stanislaus Co., Modesto; lawn; 29 September 1961; H. Sinclair, coll. Holotype on one slide, California Department of Agriculture # 61 J 2–105, deposited at the California Academy of Sciences (entomology type # 15020).
Description
Description: The following additions to the description of the species are based on the holotype. Length of holotype 1.1 mm. Colour pattern not seen but originally described as shown in Fig. 42. Ant. 1 with 2 dorsal macrosetae. Prelabral setae 2. Postlabial column CG obstructed, but apparently all setae ciliate. Tergal macrochaetotaxy of Th. 2 –Abd. 2 as 4, 6, 4, 2 (Figs. 25–26): chaetotaxy of Th. 3 and Abd. 1 arranged as in S. bidentata. Abd. 4 with 4 posterior setae. Trochanteral organ with 13 + 14 setae. Unguis with only one distal unpaired tooth. Collophore anterior face with 3 macro- and 3 microsetae; lateral setae 15; posterior face with 1 + 1 setae. Proportions of dens/manubrium≈ 1, proportion dental vesicle/mucro ≈ 1. Mucro with basal dorsal denticle.
Discussion
Remarks: Salina beta has a unique colour pattern that distinguishes it from all other New World species. In chaetotaxy S. beta is intermediate between S. wolcotti / ventricolor and bidentata / thibaudi, as shown in Table 1.
