examples; they are from Florida and Louisiana and are probably 

 subspecifically different from the New Jersey form. The following 

 is another rather remarkable subspecies: 



Cicindela abdominalis ssp. faceta nov. Similar in size and general 

 form to abdominalis, not black but with a strong and subalutaceous 

 violet lustre, wanting on the black anterior parts; hairs forming the lateral 

 pronotal vittae short and rather inconspicuous; elytra with rather fine 

 but distinct, sparse, subaeneous punctures, the green foveae large and 

 conspicuous; white spots on each elytron numerous, one representing 

 the posterior end of the humeral lunule, two the anterior and posterior 

 ends of the middle band, one elongate marginal near apical third, one 

 smaller discal on the median line at apical fifth and a complete and full 

 apical lunule; legs pallescent. Length (9) 9-7 mm.; width 3.4 mm. 

 A single example without indication of locality. 



The coloration and maculation are different from any noted in 

 descriptions. 



Cicindela extenuata n. sp. Slender, with the usual narrow prothorax, 

 broad head and prominent eyes, highly polished, black throughout, the 

 abdomen red, the femora pallescent; labrum broadly produced, sinuato- 

 truncate and edentate medially at tip; prothorax longer than wide, 

 slightly narrowed toward base, the sulci narrow and shallow, the trans- 

 verse decumbent hairs composing the lateral pronotal vittae very coarse, 

 white, close and conspicuous; elytra gradually expanding with nearly 

 straight sides to apical fourth, then broadly and obtusely rounding through 

 the combined apex, the serrulation excessively minute; surface with 

 relatively coarse, close-set punctures, becoming rather sparse suturally, 

 the foveae large and deep but not at all metallic, the sole maculation 

 consisting of a full apical lunule, an elongate marginal spot at apical 

 third and a minute embossed discal spot representing the posterior end 

 of the middle band ; white pubescence along the sides of the under surface 

 dense and very conspicuous. Length (cf 9 ) 7-5-8-5 mm.; width 2.5-3.0 

 mm. Florida (Crescent City), Schwarz. 



Allied without doubt to scabrosa Schaupp, but very much smaller, 

 the length of that species being given by both Schaupp and Leng 

 as 10.5 mm. The vittse of transversely placed white hairs at the 

 sides of the pronotum are so conspicuous that they would undoubt- 

 edly have been alluded to by Schaupp if so distinct in scabrosa; these 

 hairs are short, finer, very sparse and inconspicuous in my southern 

 examples of abdominalis, and, if the deep foveae of the subsutural 

 line were deep black and without trace of the metallic color seen 

 in abdominalis, I think this also would have been observed.
