Eab. Mexico, Oaxaca, Juquila (Edge). 



This beautiful little species agrees with C. viatica and allies in the absence of pub 





from the under surface : but it is 



t> 



uished from all Cicindelce yet known by 





the peculiarity of its elytral markings, the lateral margins being polished and the polished 

 portion separated from the opake disk by a white vitta, commencing at the shoulder

and extending to the middle of the apical margin. The vitta recedes from the margin 

 towards the middle, and is there narrowed or subinterrupted in two places. 



9. Cicindela phosphora. 



Cicindela phosphor a, Bates, Cistula Entomologica, ii. p. 329 (1878). 



Eab. Mexico (coll. Bates ex coll. J. Thomson). 



Neither M. Salle norHerrHoge appears to have met with this species, a specimen of 

 which was obtained by the late Mr. Edwin Brown from the collection of M. Thomson 

 of Paris. Although resembling C. hogei in the submarginal vitta of the elytra and the 

 naked under surface of the body, with very short hairs on the femora, it differs entirely 

 in form, being convex and subcylindrical, with much narrower head and less convex 

 eyes. The labrum (in the male) is arcuated in front, with three obtuse teeth on 

 the front margin. The minute sculpture of the elytra is very similar in the two 

 species.
