new Cicindelidee from Mashunaland. 453 
Dark bronze, with a greenish tinge; the lateral parts of the 
elytra cyaneous; underside and legs dark greenish-blue, tibiz 
rufescent ; antenne subcompressed and slightly foliate ; head finely 
strigose diagonally ; labrum black, with the apical part somewhat 
yellowish in the male, totally black in the female ; prothorax narrow, 
cylindrical, constricted behind, finely transversely plicate ; elytra 
elongated, covered with deep, closely set, moderately broad punc- 
tures, convex, with the sutural part ending in two short spines on 
each side, as in C. lepida, Boh., but much shorter, and having on 
each side three ovate, supramarginal white spots, the first one 
humeral and very small, the median one a little elongated, and the 
posterior one ovate. Length, 10; width, 3 mm. 
This species, owing to the tendency of the antennz to 
become compressed and subfoliate, connects Cosmema 
with Myrmecoptera; like (. lepida, it has two spines on 
each side of the suture, but these spines are not so much 
developed ; the supramarginal white markings are not 
unlike those of C. elegantula, Boh., but in C. dolosa the 
posterior one is a round or ovate patch, not a white line 
or band.
