Fam. Cicindelidae. 



Of this family 52 species have been recorded from Åust- 

 ralia, belonging to the genera Megacephala (18), Distipsidera 

 (7), Rhysopleura (1), Nickerlea (1) and Cicindela (25). The 

 genera Nickerlea and Rhysopleura are both endemic in Åust- 

 ralia; so is also the genus Distipsidera, exeept one of its 

 species, D. papuana Gestro., from New Guinea. 



The present material contains 203 specimens, representing 

 19 different species. Two of these are new and very inter- 

 esting forms. The number of Australian species is thereby 

 brought up to 54.
