Cicindela hirticollis Say. Very abundant from June to October; 

 varies in size without perceptible variation in elytral markings; oc- 

 curs on ocean beach and alkaline flats; not inclined to inhabit the 

 borders of inland fresh-water pools. 



Cicindela sigmoidea Lee. A very abundant species, actually 

 swarming on the bay beach during June and July. Attracted in 

 considerable numbers by the electric light. 



Ciciyidela gabbii Horn. Occurs in August on alkaline flats. Very 

 desirable and not abundant. 



Cicindela hcBmorrhagica Lee. Occurs throughout the county. 

 Formerly abundant about San Diego Bay, but has retreated before 

 the advance of civilization, and at the present time is exceedingly 

 rare. 



Cicindela pacifica Schaupp. Occurs at Del Mar in August and 

 September. From the sea-shore it extends up Penasquitos Creek 

 for the distance of fourteen miles to Poway (elevation 700 feet). 

 Have not observed it at other inland points.
