38 ORDKR COLEOPTERA, 



CiciVD%d.A AUBii^URis {Wfiiie-lipped Cicindela). 

 Labrura white, obsoletely tridentate, rather proniiuent iu the middle. Elytra broadly 

 punctured, with three marginal spots and a broken discoidal band, all white. 



KiBBT : figured on Plate I in Kicliardsou's N. A. Fauna. 



Body underneath green, or golden green clouded with blue ; above, black with a purplish 

 tint. Labrum white, prominent, armed in the middle with three short teeth, the lateral 

 ones obtuse ; above, with an intermediate obtuse longitudinal ridge. Elytra, under a 

 powerful magnifier, covered with innumerable minute granules, and also with nu- 

 merous shallow impressions : a series of larger ones is parallel with the suture ; the 

 angular white discoidal band reaches neither the suture, nor the lateral margin. 

 There are also three marginal white dots, one humeral, another between it and the 

 band, and one between the latter and the apex. 

 Length of the body, 6 - 6^ inches. 



KiRBY remarks, that though this species is common ia this country, it is not noticed by 

 Say, who perhaps mistook it for C. sylvatica (Linn.), "of which it may be regarded as the 

 Americail representative, and with which it agrees in its prominent upper lip and the 

 shallow impressions and markings of its elytra, as well as in its general color ; but it is 

 smaller, has a white instead of a black upper lip, with an obtuse longitudinal ridge and 

 not an acute one, terminating in three almost obtuse short teeth instead of a longer one, 

 and likewise by the want of the silky lustre prodiu'ed by granulations much more visible." 



3. Lahrum vxUh one tooth; thorax nearly cylindrical, sometimes elongated. 



ClCINDELA HianCOLLIS. 



Insect purplish gray above and brilliant green beneath. Outer anterior angle of the elytra 

 marked with cream-colored spots : there is another just behind the middle lunule, 

 . followed by another near the inner margin ; posterior and outer margin marked by a 

 lunule. The lunules and spots less conspicuous than in the vulgaris or repandis. 

 Length rather less than half an inch ; female^ half an inch. 



CiCINDELA ALBOHIRTA. ( Plate XVii, fig. 1.) 



Insect, head and thorax brassy green j hairs erect and white ; sides brilliant and cupreous. 



Elytra snbviolaceous. Lunules and margin white, with the intermediate recurved band.
