very elongate and j)a.rallel-Bidecl, obtusely rounded at the apex ; their 

 velvety surface appears rich dark blue in certain lights, and the yellow 

 vitta is continuous from the base (which is also yellow, including a 

 streak on the shoulder) to very near the apex, but it is slightly uneven 

 in width. The under-side of the body is blue-green, with the sides of 

 the metasternum (not the episterna) and of the abdomen clothed with ■ 

 silvery pile. The trochanters are yellowish, and the femora tinged 

 with golden. The palpi are yellow, with two joints of the maxillary 

 and one of the labial black.

CiCINDELA VELATA, U. Sp. 



C. aurulentce simillima ; dijfert capite et tliorace suprh cenco-nUjris. 

 hoc cmgustiori cylindrico ; elytris Icete nigro-velutinis^ pruinosis, sutura 

 cequaliter aureo-marcjinata, utriiuiue macidis 2 prope basin, S*** prope 

 apicem, fasciaque medlana hamata, Jlavis. Long. 8 Un. $ $ . 



Deceptively similar to C aurulenta, but diffei'ing from all the 

 varieties of that species by the unicolorous head and thorax, and the 

 golden margin of the suture not dilated near the base. The labrum 

 also is different in both sexes, having vei'y short and scarcely promi- 

 nent teeth. The head is wider, with the eyes especially more 

 prominent. The thorax is very much narrower than the head, with 

 nearly straight sides ; its surface is not velvety, and the disc is 

 coarsely wrinkled transversely. The yellow spots of the elytra nearly 

 agree with those of the var. Jiavomaculata, the median forming a 

 transverse fascia, or, rather, two spots united by a slender line ; the 

 humeral spot, however, is much larger and rounder. The under- 

 surface, legs, and palpi ax'e dark blue, with green tinge.
