MISCELLANEOUS NOTES AND NEW SPECIES 357 



McPherson, Ks. Finally there is a specimen of what seems to be 

 typical Anisodactylus oregonus Csy., from Cceur d'Alene, Idaho, col- 

 lected by Wickham, and a rather aberrant example of A. c&nus, of 

 peculiar steel-blue lustre, from McPherson, Kansas; also, from the 

 latter place, there is a single specimen of Stenocelhis congener Lee. ; 

 this species has a much smaller head and somewhat smaller pro- 

 thorax than rupestris and can be distinguished from it very easily. 

 On further consideration, it becomes evident that Omus lucidi- 

 collis Csy., reduced to synonymy on page 7 (ante), has not truly 

 that status, but is a variety of lobatus, and further material in the 

 neighborhood of horni Lee., given me a few days ago by Mr. E. D. 

 Harris, proves that collaris Csy., is not the same as horni, the latter 

 being a shorter, stouter and much more thick-set form. 



CICINDELIM; 



In a small box of specimens recently very kindly sent to me by 

 Mr. Leng, there is some instructive material. A male example 

 of the bright green Cicindela oslari Leng, from San Miguel Mts., Col., 

 taken at an elevation of 12000 feet, resembles the male type of 

 ostenta Csy., very closely; it is narrower, with less distinct elytral 

 foveae and shorter antennae, but in color and sculpture it is almost 

 identical; the labrum, however, has three prominent teeth. On 

 referring to the original description of oslari, I find that this bright 

 green form is not the typical oslari, which is coppery-brown, and 

 I have reason to believe that under that name two quite distinct 

 forms were included and that another name possibly varietal 

 should be given this green form, confounded hitherto with the true 

 oslari; what its true relationship with ostenta may be cannot be 

 determined exactly on such scanty material, but the two are evi- 

 dently not identical. 



In the denverensis subgroup of the purpurea group, Mr. Leng sent 

 a female which proves to be truly the female of that species, having 

 the identical form and coloration of the male type but larger and 

 with wholly black labial palpi; it seems therefore that the pale 

 penultimate joint mentioned under the description of denverensis 

 is more essentially a male sexual character. With this example of 

 denverensis, there were two related forms which are as follows:
