180 Beetles of the Cicindela brevicollis group 
SUMMARY OF CHARACTERS. 
ANTENNA WITHOUT MALE APPENDAGES. 
SUPRA-ORBITAL STIATION ABSENT OR HARDLY APPARENT. 
MANDIBLES LONGER, CROSSING WHEN CLOSED AT SOME DISTANCE ABOVE 
LABRUM. 
1. C. candida, Boh.* 
Antenne moderately long ; ultimate joint broadly truncate. 
Labrum short ; a little sub-triangularly produced in both sexes. 
Form robust ; prothorax about as long as broad, of equal width at 
base and apex ; elytra short sub-oval and slightly convex in 
both sexes. 
Pattern ; nearly the whole surface of the elytra covered with a yellow 
indumentum leaving only two (one discal and one postical) zig- 
zag bands of the black ground to represent a pattern on each 
elytra. 
2. CO. candida, race herero, Per? 
Antenne shorter and articulations stouter, last joint in males 
spatulate and truncate at tip. 
Labrum transverse and but little produced medially. 
Prothorax short, broader than long, of nearly equal width at base 
and apex. 
Elytral margins; males nearly straight, a little explanate about 
middle, females sinuate below shoulder, ampliate medially and 
broadly rounded to apex. 
Bands and rami of pattern moderately broad, pale testaceous with 
narrow dark edgings prismatic in strong light. Ground colour 
green and coppery bronze; that of prothorax bright green and 
coppery bronze. Legs and cheeks glowing metallic red. 
* The variety miata, Chaudoir, represents forms in which the ground 
colour has been still further encroached upon, leaving only disconnected spots 
instead of irregular bands.
