78 THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 



as usual, is golden-green, or green with clouds of blue, above it is dark-brown 

 with a tint of copper. 



Variety B. With the apical dots not larger than the humeral. 



C. With an interrupted crescent at the apex. 



D. With three apical and two humeral dots ; intermediate band 



internally abbreviated. 



E. Like the last, but with only one humeral dot. 



[This is C. duodecim-guttata, Dej. ; it is commonly taken in many parts 



of Canada.] 



* Labrum tridentate. 



[10] 4. Cicindela obliquata, De Jean. — Many taken in the expedition, 

 and apparently abundant in N. America. I received it many years since, but 

 without a name, from my lamented friend Prof. Peck. 



Body above greenish-copper, underneath golden-green clouded with blue. 

 Labrum white, tridentate, slightly prominent in the middle ; mandibles white 

 at the base, black at the tip; palpi black ; labial with the intermediate joint 

 rufous, darker at the tip. Elytra with a large white humeral crescent, ex- 

 tended at the lower end obliquely beyond the middle ; mesal band bent down- 

 wards, recurved at the end, and connected by a marginal line with a crescent 

 at the apex. In the male the intermediate joint of the labial palpi is white, 

 and the mesal band is not connected with the terminal crescent. 



[Le Conte (Pro. Acad. Nat. Sci. Phil., Dec. 1866, p. 362) states that this 

 species should hereafter be known as C. Kirbyi, since, as he learns from a 

 drawing made by Mr. Andrew Murray, from the type in the British Museum, 

 it is quite distinct from any species known to him.] 



5. Cicindela vulgaris, Say. — A common species in all N. America. 



[11] 6. Cicindela purpurea, Oliv. — [Very Common in most parts of 

 Canada.] 



[12] 7. Cicindela albilabris, Kirby. Plate i, fig. 1. — Taken in lat. 64°, 



and also in Canada by Dr. Bigsby. [Previously described as C. lorujilabris, 



by Say. (Ent. Works, i. 176), We have received specimens of this species 



from Nova Scotia, collected by Mr. J. M. Jones, and from Quebec and New 



Hampshire.] 



[Family Carabid^e.] 



[13] 8. Casnoma Pennsylvania, De Jean. — Two specimens taken. 



9. Cymindis marginatus, Kirby. — Piceous, thickly punctured; antennae, 

 mouth, dilated sides of the prothorax, lateral margin and shoulders of the 

 striated elytra, and legs, rufous. Length of the body 4J lines. 



One specimen of this insect was taken in the route from New York to 

 Cumberland House, and the other in lat. 65°. It is nearly related to C. 

 pabescens, Dej., but appears distinct.
