tertio quartoque angustioribus : i)cdibus n'lgris. (Long. 

 Corp. n—'Z%.) 



Cicindela aquatica. Lin. Syst. Nat. II. 658. 



Above of a brassy hue : beneath bronze black : head about the same 

 width as the thorax, with seven parallel furrows on the forehead, 

 the two outer ones larger and deeper than the rest, leaving a broad 

 ridge next the eye with a deep puncture in the ridge : thorax 

 narrowed posteriorly, the margins coarsely punctured, disk smooth, 

 the dorsal channel rather deep, wrinkled transversely, and curved 

 at the base, so as to join the lateral fovese, which are rather 

 deep : elytra elongate, with seven punctate striae on each, the first 

 next the suture, the six following close together and parallel with, 

 but leaving abroad smooth surface between them and the first, and 

 also next the outer margin : the striae vanish towards the apex, 

 except that near the suture and the seventh, which meet at the 

 apex : between the seventh stria and the outer margin, at the apex 

 of the elytra, is a short deep furrow : the space between the third 

 and fourth stria is broader than the following, and has a deep 

 impression, about one third of the distance from the base to the 

 apex of the elytra : legs, antennae, and palpi, entirely bronze black. 



Var. /J.— Totally black. 



Common in damp situations throughout Britain.

Of a rich brassy copper above, beneath brassy black : head rather 

 narrower than in N. aquaticus, the frontal sulci close together : 

 the thorax is longer and more attenuated posteriorly, the punc- 

 turing finer, but less close together : elytra more elongate and 

 narrower, the strias not so deeply punctured : legs, antennas, and 

 palpi, totally black. 

 I have one specimen of this insect, but am ignorant of its 



locahty.
