REVISION OF THE CICINDELZ OF THE UNITED STATES. 49 
On salt marsh in Massachusetts and New York: on the ocean beach of South Carolina 
and Georgia. The specimens from the latter localities are more perfectly marked, and 
the lobe representing the anterior extremity of the apical lunule is directed more ob- 
liquely inwards than in specimens from New York; but after a close comparison I have 
failed to find any specific differences. 
37. C. cuprascens, modice elongata, cylindrica, cuprea, vel olivaceo-senea, subnitida, capite thoraceque 
albo-pubescentibus, hoc latitudine haud longiore, lateribus rotundatis, elytris valde punctatis ad apicem serrulatis, 
macula basali, margine lobato, ramo subhumerali subobliquo hamato, fascia media fere tortuosa fimbriata, lunula- 
que apicali utrinque inflexa latis albis; subtus viridi-zenea dense albo-pubescens, medio glabra, trochanteribus ru- 
fis, pedibus longissimis ; labro brevi unidentato. Long. -48—-52. 
Mas elytris ad apicem oblique subsinuatis, sutura haud retracta. 
Femina elytris ad apicem oblique sinuatis, angulo externo acuto prominulo, sutura paulo retracta.

Missouri and Kansas: the anterior tibize are more or less testaceous. Baron Chaudoir 
regards this species as a variety of C. blanda; from the imperfections of Dejean’s de- 
scription such an inference might be readily made: it is however very different from the 
two allied species next described by its stouter form and more rounded thorax, by the 
more shining surface, by the coarser punctures of the elytra, and by the acute tooth at 
the external angle of the oblique sinuosity of the elytra of the female. It is quite possi- 
ble, as many Coleoptera from the Western States have been sent to Europe, that this spe- 
cies has become extensively distributed as the veritable C. blanda Dey. 
38. C. blanda, elongata subcylindrica, fusco-zenea, haud nitida, capite thoraceque albo-pubescentibus, hoe la- 
titudine paulo longiore lateribus parum rotundatis, elytris subtilius punctatis, ad apicem oblique angustatis serru- 
latis, maculis albis sicut in priore, at valde dilatatis, (sutura ramisque quatuor obscuris relictis ;) subtus dense albo- 
pubescens, medio glabra, trochanteribus rufis, pedibus longissimis, tibiis tarsisque fere testaceis; palpis pallidis 
apice obscuris, labro brevi unidentato. Long. -48. 
Mas elytris oblique subsinuatim angustatis sutura prominula. Femina latet.

Georgia and North Carolina, on the banks of rivers. On account of the comparison 
made between C. blanda and C. variegata (marginata) by Dejean, his description is some- 
what obscure; and though possessing the female, he has not noticed the form of the api- 
cal sinuosity. | Nevertheless I think that the one here described must be regarded as his 
species, for the following reasons: 1, because a similar specimen was sent to Dr. Harris 
by my father when the species was first discovered by him; 2nd, because the specimen 
now in my possession, although from another locality, came from the old collection of my 
father; and 3, because Dejean states that the white lateral margin of the elytra is wider 
posteriorly with the lunule obliterated, and that the elytra are less deeply punctured ; nei-
