The dewlap color and pattern easily distinguish the species in the field but these striking differences usually disappear or are little evident in preserved specimens. The body color and pattern are also very useful in the field; these are sometimes still evident in preserved Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Harvard University.
