new species of Cicindelide. 379 
elytra, the style of coloration and markings, and the 
large size of its elytra and “after-body,” compared with 
the head and thorax. Six species are now known, viz., 
five from the Andes (near the Equator) , and one of much 
smaller size from South Brazil. Although nothing is 
recorded of their habits, I have no doubt they resemble 
those of the Odontocheile, and that they live in the 
shades of the virgin forest, flying about low bushes, 
especially on the humid margins of rivulets and mountain 
torrents.

The markings of the elytra are unlike those of any other 
described species; the ground-colour is opaque, greenish 
or olivaceous, with a changing light-greenish silky gloss, 
especially on the hinder half, where a deeper and bluer 
tint surrounds the orange-coloured markings; these 
latter form on each elytron a hammer-shaped figure, con- 
sisting of a broad oblique spot or fascia across the disc 
behind the middle, touching neither the suture nor the 
lateral margin, and a longitudinal stripe proceeding from 
the middle of the hind-margin of the fascia and extend- 
ing very near to the apex, where it is much dilated; in 
some examples it is detached from the fascia.
