REVISION OF THE CICINDELZ OF THE UNITED STATES. 61 
SPECIES UNKNOWN TO ME. 
i. ‘0. decemnotata, green above, tinged with cupreous; elytra margined with bright green or bluish; four 
white spots and an intermediate refracted band.’ 
Say, Am. Kat. pl..18; Journ. Acad. Nat. Se. 1, 19. 
‘Labrum three-toothed, white; mandibles black, base white: elytra with a white spot 
on the shoulder, another equidistant from the first and the band: band broad, arising 
from the middle of the margin, refracted at the centre of the elytron, and terminated near 
the suture in a line with the tip of the third spot: this spot is large, orbicular, and 
placed near the external tip of the terminal one, which is transverse and triangular ; 
body beneath green, trochanters and tail purple.’ Length three-fifths of an inch nearly. 
Mr. Nuttall; found on the Missouri River above the confluence of the Platte. Seems 
allied to C. purpurea (race limbalis or amoena) or to C. patruela, but is evidently distin- 
guished from each by the middle band being more deflexed. 
Il. ‘C. limbata, elytra white, suture oblique line and dot green, exterior and basal edge bluish. Length less 
than half an inch.’ 
Say, Journ. Acad. Nat. Se. 1, 141. 
‘Body green, varied with blue and purple, and with cinereous hair: antennx black at 
tip, labrum and exterior and superior base of. the mandibles white: thorax hairy each 
side, indented lines violaceous; elytra white, a green sutural vitta narrowed behind, an 
oblique irregular line behind the middle, and a small triangular dot before the middle 
green; exterior edge and basal edge, bluish green or violaceous; beneath hairy; venter 
purplish. This species, at first sight, resembles C. dorsalis, but is very distinct in its 
marking and in the form of its thorax. Found on the Nebraska and Arkansas Rivers.’ 
This species does not seem allied to any that I have seen. 
III. ‘C. terricola, black; a white line at the tip of the elytra. Length more than two-fifths of an inch.’ 
Say, Long’s Expedition to St. Peter’s River, 2, 268. 
‘Inhabits North West Territory. Body destitute of metallic lustre; labrum white, 
breadth more than twice the length, tip three-toothed, intermediate tooth conic acute, 
the lateral teeth angulated obtuse: mandibles white on the exterior base: thorax a little 
hairy : elytra with scattered very minute punctures, which are oblique, as if formed by a 
pointed instrument directed towards the anterior part of the insect, so that the surface be- 
fore each puncture is a little elevated; a white line margins the extremity; venter 
blackish-testaceous. This species is closely allied to C. pusilla, but the marking of the 
elytra differs, and the thorax is not so much contracted at base, and is more closely affixed 
to the abdomen.’ 
C. triguttata Herbst, Kafer, 10, 182, tab. 172, fig. 5. Unless this is one of the varieties of C. punctu- 
lata, it is not North American. 
C. obscura Fabr. is the European C. germanica, Erichson, (Kafer Mark Brand. 3.)
