Var. Iimbigera Gemm. & Harold Catalogus p. 20, “mbata||Say. Head 
and thorax green with cupreous tinge; elytra white, suture, oblique 
line and dot green, blue or cupreous, exterior and basal edge greenish 
blue, beneath blue. Head hairy rugose; thorax hairy rugose, little 
convex; elytra punctured, smoother than in Ayperborea with'a long 
sutural triangular macula, a small dot before the middle, and an 
oblique irregular line behind the middle, these markings are brilliantly 
shining either green or blue or cupreous. ‘This insect was like the 
Amblychila \ost for a number of years, till Mr. E. P. Austin recovered 
it on sandy hills in Nebraska a few years ago Length 12 mm. 
Gemminger & Harold in their Catalogus changed Say’s name limbata 
into “mbigera, as there was described and published in the same year 
(1823) another Cicindela “méata by Wiedem. Zool. Mag. II, Ij p. 64, 
and it may be difficult to prove that Wiedemann’s description was first 
published. Besides this Chaudoir gave Wiedemann’s species in 1852 
the name ¢efraspilofa, so it was unnecessary to change in 1866 Say’s 
name into 4méigera; if this view should be adopted, the present species 
would of course stand Ambala Say, var. hyperborea Lec,
