ClCINDELID^E 29 



more transverse. Length (9) 12.5 mm.; width 4.85 mm. North 

 Carolina. 



The elytral punctures are slightly denser than in ancocisconensis 

 and the attendant small shining granules are still smaller. 



Cicindela ancocisconensis ssp. eriensis nov.- Form shorter and with 

 more abbreviated hind body than in ancocisconensis, smaller in size and 

 with relatively much smaller, though otherwise similar, prothorax; color, 

 markings and sculpture similar, except that the humeral lunule is much 

 shorter, being as in repanda. Length (cf 9 ) 12.0-12.5 mm.; width 

 4.72-5.0 mm. A single pair from Western New York (Buffalo) ; the hind 

 body of the male is narrower than in the female. 



The sexually different form of the anterior and middle femora, 

 characterizing most of the Cicindelids, is very striking in ancocis- 

 conensis, the male femora being notably stout and very gradually 

 tapering distally, while those of the female are as slender as the 

 posterior femora. 



The following is a distinct species of the repanda group : 



Cicindela hudsonica n. sp. Rather large in size and broad, very dull 

 coppery-brown in color, the pronotal sulci blue, the hind angles cupreous; 

 head not wider than the prothorax, very closely and minutely strigose and 

 with coarse sparse whitish hairs, the frontal swelling distinct; eyes 

 smaller than usual; lateral labral teeth represented by feeble, broadly 

 rounded projections; prothorax fully one-half wider than long, subparallel, 

 feebly inflated anteriorly, the basal angles tumid; surface minutely and 

 closely granulo-rugulose, sparsely hairy at the sides; elytra oblong, paral- 

 lel, with feebly arcuate sides, very broadly and obtusely rounded at 

 apex, barely one-half longer than wide, four-fifths wider than the protho- 

 rax, the humeri broadly exposed at base, the punctures moderate, each 

 attended by a distinct shining granule; markings subobliterated, the 

 humeral lunule represented only by a small humeral spot and a minute 

 posterior discal point, the middle band only feebly traceable from the 

 angle and thence gradually obsolete posteriorly, the apical lunule widely 

 disintegrated, the anterior spot and transverse line at apex, however, 

 rather well developed; under surface shining green and coppery and with 

 long loose pubescence toward the sides, the abdomen blue throughout and 

 with sparse hairs laterad. Length (9) 13.5 mm.; width 5.7 mm. 

 Hudson Bay Territory. 



This species should follow duodecimguttata in the list, though having 

 but little resemblance, differing in its larger, broader, and more 

 oblong hind body, stronger sculpture and nearly obsolete maculation. 



In the hirticollis group there are some peculiarities affecting the 

 typical species. The form occurring in New Jersey, for example, 

 is constantly smaller than that found in Rhode Island, and in the
