CICINDELA. 



Cicindela, Linn. Syst. Nat. i. 2, p. 657; Lacordaire, Gen. Col. i. p. 17. 



Of this well-known arid cosmopolitan genus 



ly 500 species have now been 



described. The attempts which have been made by various authors to subdivide the 

 host have not been successful, owing to the inconstancy of the structural modifications, 

 at first sight apparently of generic value. The species, however, fall partly into vaguely- 

 defined natural groups, one or two of which, found on the sandy shores of the sea and 

 rivers, are represented by similar species in all the warmer regions of the earth.
