This handsome and well-known Cicindela, according 
to Mr. Lewis's notes, is abundant everywhere in Japan ; 
frequenting the neighbourhood of water, especially run- 
ning streams, March to November. It is common also in 
China, from Hong Kong to the Yang-tsze. I have seen 
it stated that the Japanese specimens form a variety, dis- 
tinct from the Chinese ; this may be true as regards those 
found at Hong Kong, which are bluer in colour, and 
have less of the coppery tinge on the thorax and the base 
and apex of the elytra ; but specimens from Ningpo do 
not differ in these respects fi-om those of Nagasaki.

(Eneo-opaca, id. 1. c, 1860, p. 5. 
Also a well-known species, somewhat resembling the 
European C sylvatica (which extends its range into 
Eastern Siberia), but differing greatly in the shape and 
colour of the labrum, which is white, and scarcely pro- 
duced in the middle. 
Found in the dry season (February to June) abundantly 
on hill sides and in woods, everywhere. 
C. Japanensis, Chaudoir, Bulletin d. 1. Soc. Imp. des 
Naturalistes de Moscou, 1863, p. 2. 
Considered by Chaudoir to be a local variety of the 
common European C. hybrida, and defined in these 
terms : —
