20 MEMOIRS ON THE COLEOPTERA 



deflected at right angles anteriorly and a short medial submarginal 

 streak, from the middle of which proceeds internally a very fine 

 elbowed band, which is abruptly much enlarged at its posterior end. 

 In another male the humeral lunule is still finer and shorter, but 

 there is on the disk before the middle at inner fourth, an elongate 

 dash, which represents the posterior end of the long lunule of 

 lunalonga, the other markings nearly as in the first male. In the 

 third male there is no trace of pale maculation at any part of the 

 elytra, which is the case also in the single female. Although doubt- 

 less allied to lunalonga, from Sierra Co., this species seems to differ 

 in the conspicuous ocellated elytral spots, very inconspicuous 

 foveae and very slender and not "broad" apical lunule. 



This is the species that I had previously thought to be tuolumnce 

 Leng, from the Hetch Hetchy Valley, but that is described as 

 sericeous green and with the elytra not visibly punctate. It is 

 my opinion that we have in the Sierras these three species, which 

 are mutually distinct and valid, but if the final verdict be otherwise, 

 tuolumnce. and tularensis will form well marked subspecies of luna- 

 longa, which should in any event be regarded as valid with reference 

 to pusilla. 



The two following species may be placed near denverensis in the 

 pur pur ea group: 



Cicindela pugetana n. sp. Fonm rather narrow and convex, small 

 in size, alutaceous, bright green throughout above and beneath, the 

 elytral margins brighter green; smoother, less punctate and with a feeble 

 violaceous reflection by oblique illumination; head (cf ) densely pubescent 

 on the front medially; labrum pale, with fine black anterior edge, the 

 median lobe advanced and sharply tridentate; prothorax much narrower 

 than the head, slightly transverse, moderately narrowed basally, uni- 

 formly green and finely, very densely sculptured; elytra two-thirds 

 longer than wide, not quite twice as wide as the prothorax, closely, 

 granularly punctate, the type without trace of humeral spot but with a 

 very minute pale spot representing the posterior end of a humeral lunule, 

 also with an externally attenuated triangular spot at the apex and with 

 a slender elbowed median band, not attaining the sides; terminal ab- 

 dominal sinus broadly parabolic; sides of the prosternum with long con- 

 spicuous pubescence, the remainder of the under surface glabrous or 

 nearly so; legs slender, the middle tarsi a little longer than the tibiae. 

 Length (cf) 11.5 mm.; width 4.4 mm. British Columbia, Knaus. 

 A single example. 



Differs from the male of denverensis in its much less pubescent 

 head and prothorax, coarser and stronger granuliferous elytral
