ClCINDELID^ AND CARABHXE II 



19 Dor sails group. 



The development of elytral ornamentation here is as isolated as 

 that of gabbi but, though remindful of it in some respects, is not at 

 all homologous; here it is the humeral lunule that is greatly ex- 

 tended, being flexed posteriorly along the suture to the middle, 

 where it sometimes joins the much extended anteriorly hamate 

 extremity of the transverse band, seen in feeble development in the 

 blanda type; the head here is nude in both sexes as in gabbi. The 

 elytra sometimes become entirely white, except narrowly along the 

 suture. In some cases, such as apricoidea, intermediates seem to 

 be wanting and there is therefore a suggestion of true dimorphism, 

 a condition particularly characteristic of sea-beach species. The 

 species and subspecies are dor sails Say, Saulcyl Guer., media Lee., 

 semipicta Csy., munlfica* and apricoidea*. 



20 Pamplilla group. 



A single isolated species constitutes this group at present 

 pamphlla Lee. The head is large and hairless, the hind body short 

 and broad, somewhat as in the preceding group, but the markings 

 are of the prcetextata order. 



21 Clrcumplcta group. 



The head is hairless and well developed, the body elongate, 

 the elytra with entirely white margins, the middle band oblique, 

 straight, sometimes long, but rudimentary in the type species, and 

 the legs are long. The various forms are clrcumplcta Laf., calif ornlca 

 Men., prcetextata Lee., and ambiens*, inspiciens*, fulgoris* and 

 strlngens*. 



22 Togata group. 



In some respects this is remindful of the clrcumplcta group, the 

 elytral margins being broadly white, but the tarsi are shorter and 

 the head hairy. The species known so far are togata Laf., aplcalls 

 W. Horn and globlcollls* . 



23 Leplda group. 



This is one of the most isolated types of the genus and I am un- 

 able to trace the development of its type of ornamentation from any 

 of the others so far known. The form of the white lateral margin
