which it should be retained. Later (1. c, 1856, p. 37) Dr. Leconte 

 applied it to a black form from New York not since recognized, 

 which may be sunk in synonymy. 



There are a ninnber of instances in which the relative rank as- 

 signed to various specifes does not accord with American ideas. 

 Perhaps our being on the spot and possessed of large series from 

 definite localities should give our judgment preference. Perhaps Dr. 

 Horn viewing such matters from a distance and with his great knowl- 

 edge of the Cicindelse of the world is the better judge. I have no 

 wish to assume to know better than he how our species and varieties 

 should be ranked and willingly accept his judgment in,many instances. 

 There arc, how'ever, a few cases in which I feel so confident that 

 he has erred that I would here record my opinion that 

 C. dnodechnguttata and C. repanda are distinct species. 

 C. scxguttata and C. patruela are distinct species. 

 C. spcrata and C. cuprascens are distinct species. 

 C. mirabilis is entitled to a higher rank than Dr. Horn gives it.

On the other hand the vibex of Geo. H. Horn, 1866, can not prop- 

 erly be ranked as subordinate to the sierra I described in 1902. Pri- 

 ority would make vibex the species if the two were closely related; 

 but I believe both are distinct species. 



The following is a form of longilabris occurring in Newfoundland 

 which requires a name : 



Cicindela longilabris novaterrse new ^ ar. : 



Size and form of C. longilabris, but brilliant green bronze above and be- 

 neath, the labrum white, the legs dark, as usual. Markings of elytra comprise 

 white humeral spot (sometimes very small or lacking), subhumeral spot, middle 

 band, bent, not reaching the margin, and subapical spot. The markings are 

 all narrow ; the subapical spot is not at all enlarged as in the green forms from 

 Colorado, nor are any of the white markings broad as in pcrviridis from the 

 Pacific Coast.
