CICINDELA AND ELAPHRUS. 171 



meet with Cic. rotundicollis, which may be regarded as 

 representing it on that continent. In a collection of in- 

 sects also made by Mr. Strickland in Asia Minor, there ap- 

 pears to be two undescribed species which closely resemble 

 Cic. campestris, Lin. 



Sp. 11. hyhrida. For various observations respecting this spe- 

 cies, the reader is referred to Mr. Stephens's * Illustrations 

 of British Entomology,' vide vol. i. page 8, &c. Cicindela 

 hirticollis, Say, appears in the New World to represent the 

 European hyhrida. 



Sp. 12. purpurea. This insect is subject to vary considera- 

 ^V J by inexperienced entomologists some varieties are 

 regarded as distinct species. I suggest the adoption of the 

 Fabrician name oi marginalis instead of the above, on the 

 ground of priority. 



Sp. 15. inter rupta. This species belongs to my genus Calo- 

 chroa ; it closely resembles some of the dark varieties of 

 C. Chinensis. 



Sp. 16. lunulata. From Dr. Gistl's description I suspect 

 that the insect which he has named Cic. Hopei, is only a 

 variety of the Fabrician lunulata. 



Sp. 20. catena. Olivier gives the East Indies and the Cape 

 of G ood Hope as the localities of this species ; in the lat- 

 ter continent I am inclined to think it never occurs. The 

 specimens purchased at Cape Town, from Verreaux and 

 other naturalists, are probably obtained from merchantmen 

 trading with India. A few years ago I purchased a collec- 

 tion labelled as " Insects of the CapeT At first sight I 

 was aware that they were peculiar to the East Indies, al- 

 though I could not state the exact locality ; on removing 

 the paper I discovered a memorandum that they were col- 

 lected at Singapore, and afterwards sold to a dealer at the 

 Cape : the locality turned out correct. 



Sp. 22. tuherculata. This insect appears to be exceedingly 

 rare : it is rarely to be found in modern collections. The 

 Banksian cabinet contains almost the only specimen which 

 has fallen under my notice. 



Sp. 23. unipunctata. Olivier gives South America as the 

 locality for this species ; I am inclined to think it peculiar 

 to North America. 



Sp. 25. sexpunctata. This species enjoys a very wide range ; 

 it occurs at Bombay, Ceylon, Madras, Calcutta, Singapore 

 and Assam : it is subject to considerable variation of mark- 

 ings and colour, some of its varieties have been considered 

 as distinct. One, which in General Hardwicke's collection 

 was named by me Cic. Jlavomaculata, is only a variety. 

 Olivier's figure is execrable.
