Dec, 1922.] Knaus: Two New Forms of Cicindela. 197 



with a marginal white area, and in only 2 per cent, does the middle 

 band tend to expand at the margin. The middle band of kiiaicsi 

 drops backward, and the termination reaches the suture so far 

 toward the apices that a line drawn from the marginal tips of the 

 apical lunule of each elytron intersects the sutural terminations of 

 the middle bands. In ncvadica the backward extension of the mid- 

 dle band is much shorter, so that a line drawn as in knausi will come 

 well below the sutural terminal of the middle band. 



So far as observed kiiousi is always found on saline mud at the 

 water's edge, while ncvadica is much more abundant on moist mud 

 not charged with saline matter. 



The distribution and habits of Cicindela fulgida var. parowana 

 Wickham are interesting. 



This variety was first taken in August 1904 by H. F. Wickham 

 near Little Salt Lake, seven miles northwest of Parowan, Utah. In 

 1917 a few specimens were taken by Geo. P. Englehart at Iron 

 Springs. 15 miles northwest of Cedar City, Utah. On July 7, 1921, 

 the McPherson Scientific Expedition took three specimens near the 

 Beaver River, Milford, Utah, 50 miles northwest of Parowan. .On 

 July 24 and 25, a nice series was taken six miles northwest of 

 Parowan about a mile from Little Salt Lake. There occurred only 

 a few at each locality where found, usually around a reservoir 

 filled from artesian wells and along the irrigation ditches leading 

 out of the reservoirs. They were quite wary and were not easily 

 taken. No specimens were found nearer than four miles northwest 

 of Parowan. 



Associated with parozcana were tranqucbarica, var. imperfecta, 

 var. chihnalmcc and var. echo. 



So far as known parozvana has not been taken outside of Utah 

 in the L''^nited States, but I\Ir. Chas. Liebeck of Philadelphia recently 

 informed me that he had two specimens of this variety from Mr. 

 J. B. Wallis of Manitoba, Canada, who took them in British Colum- 

 bia. These specimens when examined proved to be typical paro- 

 wana. This extends their habitat far to the north, and it is to 

 be expected that this form will sooner or later be found in Idaho 

 and Montana.
