300 SECOND SUPPLEMENT TO "REVISION OF CICINDELIDyE," ETC. 



An isolated and very interesting species which I place 

 in the C. nigrina-gvoM^* It seems to indicate some ancient 

 affinity between the C. nigrina- and C. tetragramma-gvo\x^\i. 



The C. nigrina-gvou^ may be tabulated thus : — 

 Form convex, Pronotum strongly transversely impressed anteriorly and 

 posteriorly; disc convex, smooth (a little wrinkled). Elytra coarsely 

 punctate. 

 Colour dark bronze, elytra nigrescent. Elytral puncturation formed by 

 separate round pits becoming finer towards apex. Size 10 mm. 



C. nigrina Macleay. 

 Elytra aeneous. Elytral puncturation coarse, close, strong to apex. 



Size 8 mm C. scitula Sloane. 



Form depressed. Pronotum lightly transversely impressed anteriorly and 

 posteriorly, surface coarsely shagreened. Elytra closely but not 

 coarsely punctate C darwini Sloane.

 member of' the C. nivicincta-limosa-gro\ii^." This Indo-Malayan group is- 

 now recorded for the first time as having an Australian representative.
