[March 1884. BULLETIN BROOKLYN ENTOM. SOC. VOL. VI. 123 
Mr. W. Dokhtouroff describes in his Revue mensuelle d’ Entomologie 
1883, vol. I, No. 1, p. 12, a new spec. Cic. dis¢gnzata from California, 
North or South? He described it as opaque greenish black above and 
dark green brilliant beneath; head finely punctured, dark green; labrum 
short, transverse, (not mentioning any thing about dentation), thorax 
nearly quadrate, the longitudinal impression scarcely visible, the trans- 
versal ones distinct. Elytra nearly cylindrical, very finely punctured, 
dark olivaceous; the markings are a slender yellowish middle band be- 
ginning at the middle of the elytra and descending very obliquely to- 
wards near the suture, hooked at tip; the suture, the lateral margin and 
the scutellum are brilliant black; the labial palpi are pale with black tip. 
Tibize and tarsi brown, femora blackish, scarcely ciliate; the abdominal 
segments are light brown. Length 7mm. If not a Mexican species 
(from the Peninsula of California,) it may be a variation of our very variable 
cinctipennis Lec. var. imperfecta Lec., with which the description agrees 
in nearly all respects. 
The larva of Cicindela repanda Dej. (f 124) is yellowish white, 
head piceous, thorax slightly bronzed, resembles very much that of Te— 
tracha, it has eight eyes, the lower of the smaller pair is very indistinct, 
the antennz are as in Tetracha; the maxillary palpi have the joints gradual- 
ly longer and more slender from the first to the third; fifth abdominal seg- 
ment with the gibbosity emarginate behind, each side with a long slender 
hook, and a short acute tubercule the latter directed posteriorly, (Horn. 
Am. Ent. Soc. VII, p. 34—37.) 
The pupa figured in Bull. Brooklyn Entom. Soc. vol. V, p. 18, 
bears some resemblance to other Carabidous pupze notably to that of a 
Carabus, bus is quite distinct by processes on the first five segments of 
the upper surface near the margin, those of the fifth being the longest. 
Mr. Louis Schledorn, a very skillful young man under my direction 
engraved the plates and did excellent work, but unfortunately ill health 
compelled him to leave the city for Culorado and the completion and 
coloration had to be intrusted to a much inferior workman and that is 
the reason why we present on plate V, drawn by Mr, J. B. Smith, the 
figures of some elytra not very distinctly represented on the colored plates 
' together with some noteworthy variations, also the larve of the four 
genera. 
With our next number will be issued plate V, together with expla- 
nation and index of species.
