berley District. — Belongs to the Malayan species, with very 

 wide distribution. 



19. Cicindela Mastersi Castelnau (Fig. 8). — To this 

 somewhat variable species I ref er three specimens (1 J*, 2 $5) 

 from the interiör of the Kimberley District, January 1911. 



W. Horn considers the two forms C. catoptriola Hrn 

 and C. plebeja Sloane synonymous and as belonging to this 

 species. Two of my specimens are darker, the prothorax is 

 less rounded on the sides, the prosternal episterna blue and 

 smootb, and the median tooth of labrum in the female much 

 more strongly developed. It agrees well with SLOA]srE's de- 

 scription of C. plebeja Sloane. The only difference is the 

 colour marks of elytra, there being only one small median

fascia, a white rounded spöt behind the middle of the disc, 

 and a small apical lunule, the humeral lunule being entirely 

 absent. The male has a small white lateral spöt between the 

 median fascia and the apical lunule, being the last rest of 

 its posterior branch. — In the third specimen the prothorax 

 is a little more rounded, the colour of the upper surface 

 more bronzy. As regards the marks of the elytra (Fig. 8), 

 there is a small humeral marginal spöt not visible from above, 

 a median fascia extending to the middle of the disc, two 

 small white spöts behind it, one round posterior discal spöt 

 and a large apical lunule. It agrees in the marks of the 

 elytra with the typical C. Mastersi Castelnau, with which 

 species both C. catoptriola Hrn and C. plebeja Sloane are 

 synonymous.
