724 Records of the Indian Museum. [Yoi,. XXII' 



Cicindela undulata, Dej. Annandale and Dover record this 

 species from Barkuda I., and elsewhere. The variety dubia , Horn 

 is recorded doubtfully in the " Fauna" from "India." We posse.ss 

 specimens from Singla, Darjiling Uist., 1500 ft., and Mandalay in 

 Upper Burma (Molesivorth, 1915, " at light"). 



Cicindela imperfecta, Chaud. Fowler records it from various 

 localities, but adds a note to the effect that Dr. Horn says that 

 some of these records may be erroneous, as this species is known 

 only from Bengal. The Museum possesses two specimens : one 

 from Surat in Bombay, and the other from Ranchi, which are 

 certainly authentic. 



Cicindela distinguenda , Dei. This species is recorded from 

 Pondicherry and Ceylon, and Annandale and Dover record a single 

 specimen from the shore of Barkuda I., Lake Chilka. 



Cicindela discreta var. rcditcla, Horn. Tura, Garo Hills, 

 1000-1500 ft. 



Cicindela graininophora, Chaud. Widely distributed in Bengal. 

 We have specimens from Kaladhungi, Naini Tal Dist. (Hodgart, 

 4-6'Vi3). 



Cicindela cognata. Wied. Dr. Gravely has taken this species 

 on the banks of the River Mahanadi in Cuttack, Orissa (21-22" 

 viii'ii) and Mr. Hodgart in Goalbathan, E. Bengal (gvii'og). 



Cicindela niinuta, Oliv. Tura, 1000 fi., and Garobadha {Kemp, 

 i"ix 17), Garo Hills, Assam; Orissa, Delhi, and Satara Dist., 

 Bombay Presidency. Apparently widely distributed in India and 

 Burma. 



Cicindela nitida, Wied. Naini Tal Dist. and Orissa. The spe- 

 cies though widely distributed is, like C. biramosa, which lives onlv 

 on the seashore, curiously particular in its choice of habitat. 

 It inhabits river-banks composed of dry mud with a good amount 

 of sand. We have seen it in ver}' large numbers on the bank of 

 the River Bhagarati at Berhampur, Murshidabad District, in the 

 Ijeginning of July, 1921, where it lives in company with a Muscid 

 fly to which it bears a remarkable resemblance on sunny days. 

 Both the beetle and the fly aie extremely difficult to catch as they 

 seem to move by a series of nnaccountably swift leaps, and with 

 the sun .shining on them it is impossible to tell the beetle from the 

 fly. In the cabinet thej* bear no resemblance whatever to each 

 other. 



Cicindela angulata, Fabr. Tura, Garo Hills, Assam, 1000 ft., 

 Sitong, Darjihng Dist., and Cuttack, Orissa [Gravely, 2i-22'viii-ii, 

 " on bank of R. Mahanadi "). 



Cicindela sumatrensis, Hbst. A widely distributed species 

 usually abundant where it occurs (c/. Annandale and Dover, 1921). 

 The varietj' imperfecta Horn is found throughout the Bombay 

 Presidency, and Dr. Gravely has also taken it in the Cochin State. 

 We are of opinion that C. despectata Horn {1892, p. 86) from 

 Perak in the Malay Peninsula and the Phillipines will probably 

 prove to be only a form of C. sumatrensis. 



Cicindela cardoni, Fleut. Satara Dist., Bombay Presidency,
