 in the States of Mexico, Puebla, and Michoacan.

erroneously labelled " Jalapa " by Hoge. His specimens were taken, as 

 Mr. Flohr informs me, at San Angel, near the city of Mexico. The species is common

Maravatio and Morelia in the State of Michoacan

Cicindela viatica (p. 5). 









Mr. Flohr has never seen this species at Jalapa during his long residence, and thinks 

 M. Salle is mistaken in his locality. It is known to occur near San Angel and Toluca.

Cicindela catharinae (p. 6). 









Jalapa here is also an erroneous locality. Besides the neighbourhood of Mexico city 

 is taken in the Llanos de Apam and at Esperanza.

Mr. Flohr has taken the species at Maravatio and near Chalco

Mr. Morrison's specimens are labelled C. lQ-punctata. They differ constantly from 

 the same variety found near the city of Mexico by their larger size and more coppery 

 under surface.

Cicindela hydrophoba (p. 8). 



Mr. Flohr has recently sent us a new local form of this very variable species. 



Var. C. taretana (Flohr MS.). Vitta humerali-basali elongata et cum fascia mediana conjuncta. 



Eab. Mexico, Taretan (Flohr). 



- 



The elytral markings are more dilated than in the typical hydrophoba, and are all 

 prolonged so as to form a nearly continuous but very irregular median fascia from base 



* 



to apex ; i. e. the upper part of the basal lunule is joined to the lower part and pro- 

 longed towards the middle of the elytron, where it meets a much prolonged upper angle 

 of the median fascia, and the upper part of the apical lunule being also prolonged, 













little 



wanting 



also with the 



part of the median fascia 



The 









insect is decidedly 



g 



and relatively narrower than the type form, and might 





■ 









perhaps be considered a distinct species. The elytral markings, however, vary, and 

 some examples, in which the junction of the spots is not effected, form a transition 



to the Chontales form of 0. hydrophoba.
