DROmOCHORUS Guer. 



This genus differs from Cicindela in general appearance and in the 

 legs and tarsi being clothed with fine decumbent hairs. The body 

 is wingless with rounded humeri. Casey is too broad in stating that 

 the black labrum has a rounded pale spot at middle as this spot is 

 often wanting. 



S . — Three joints of anterior tarsi dilated with short silky pubes- 

 cence beneath; last ventral segment broadly eraarginate ; middle 

 tibiae glabrous 



9. — Anterior tarsi slender ; last ventral segment longer than in 

 the male, slightly compressed at the sides, posterior half with a long- 

 itudinal impression varying in depth ; middle tibise glabrous. 



From Mr. F. F. Crevecoeur, of Onaga, Kan., I learn that D. Bel- 

 fragei, and presumably the other species, occur in July and August, 

 and are probably crepuscular in habit, as he never found them except 

 between eight and ten in the morning and after six at night, and even 

 then they were in the weeds by the roadside and were dislodged by 

 walking through them.
