70 Mr. H. W. Bates on Geodephagous 



Cic in de la v ir idilab r is . 

 Cicindela viridilahris, Chaudoir, Bull. Mosc. 1652, i. p. 24. 



Colombo. 



One male example, agreeing with Oiiaudoir's description, 

 except that the labrum is coppery with greenish reflections 

 rather than '^ vert metallique," and the head and thorax 

 coppery, subopaque, with green sides, and not " vert bronz^ 

 brillant." Chaudoir had only a single female example before 

 him from the " Indes Orientales " in drawing up his description, 

 and it is doubtful if the above-mentioned ditferences indicate 

 more than individual or local variations. 



Cicindela quadriUneata. 

 Cicindela quadriUneata, Fabr. Sp. Ins. i. p. 285.

Distinguished from D. nematodes by the elytra being 

 covered to the apex with large separate punctures instead of 

 finely transverse-rugulose. Mr. Lewis's specimen ditfers from 

 Chaudoir's description in the thorax being dark purplish 

 red instead of black.
