40 MEMOIRS ON THE COLEOPTERA 



Cicindela sedecimpunctata ssp. sonorana nov. Similar to i6-punctata 

 but paler and more cupreous-brown, sometimes with a darker cloud on 

 each elytron which never extends to base, apex or sides but within which 

 the metallic punctures are much reduced or obsolescent, the maculation 

 differing in having the two obliquely placed medial spots connected by a 

 fine oblique line and the apical lunule entire. Length (c? 9 ) 8.2-11.8 

 mm.; width 2.6-4.0 mm. Arizona, New Mexico and southward to 

 Durango. Very abundant. 



This is probably a mere subspecies of i6-pttnctata, but the binding 

 of the two pairs of spots medial and apical is constant here; 

 they are isolated in that species and the color is bluish-black. The 

 female, as in the h&morrhagica section, is much larger than the male; 

 in the present form the female is much less abundant than the male, 

 which is not the case in hcemorrhagica or allied species, where the 

 female seems to be somewhat more abundant than the male. 



Cicindela woodgatei n. sp. Form, coloration and sculpture nearly as 

 in hccmorrhagica, but very much smaller, with relatively larger head and 

 prothorax and shorter elytra; labrum short, transverse, the single tooth 

 minute, the median parts less advanced and the tooth less evident than 

 in that species; head and prothorax similar in general form, color and 

 relationship, but with the transverse sulci more sharply impressed; elytra 

 similar in maculation, except that the inner oblique part of the median 

 band is very much less extended posteriorly. Length (cf ) 9.0-10.8, 

 (9) 11.0-12.0 mm.; width (c?) -3.2-3.7, (9) 3.9-4.6 mm. New Mexico 

 (Jemez Springs), John Woodgate. Abundant. 



This would seem at first to be a small variety of hoemorrhagica, 

 but there is so much difference in the proportional extent of the 

 anterior parts and hind body and in the form of the middle band, 

 that I can see no other just disposition of it than as a distinct species; 

 the longitudinal extent of the middle band is only about half that 

 of h&morrhagica. 



If there were any definite meaning to be attached to the term 

 "aberration," it would apparently apply better to the form described 

 under the name pacifica by Schaupp, than any other that can be 

 recalled at present, that variety being simply hcemorrhagica in which 

 the white maculation of the elytra has failed to develop; but the 

 positions normally occupied by these markings are plainly evident 

 by reason of differences in the sculpture, and they are the same 

 and are of the same extent as in the normally marked individuals.
