Cicindela consentanea Dej. 



'J'his species occurs sparingly at Lakehurst and more abundantly at 

 Brookville. At Lakehurst it is found in open spots in or at the edge 

 of the woods and seems to prefer the blackened ground which it 

 resembles in color. The exact dates on which it occurs are April 28, 

 May 24. June 4, September 4, September 22. The burnt ground 

 between the railroad track and the woods about a mile north of the 

 station at Lakehurst is one locality where it may be found. 



Cicindela purpurea Oliv. 



This species occurs at Lakehurst from April 10 to May 24, in 

 the less sandy soil east of the railroad, and again from September 3 

 to October 21. It has not l)een found in the pure sand roads west of 

 Lakehurst and we have no record of taking it in June, July or August. 

 It was found also at Brookville on September 22. 



None of the varieties of this sjjecies has l)een Ibund as.sociated 

 with it. 



Cicindela generosa Dej. 



This species occurs in numbers at the same dates and in the same 

 localities as iiwdcsta. 



Cicindela vulgaris .Srn. 



This species occurs in the greatest abundance at the same dates and 

 in the .same localities as modesta and generosa. It has been found as 

 late as October 21. The specimens are not as uniform in markings or 

 size as those of the preceding species and there is an approach, espe- 

 cially in some specimens from the East Plain, to the small dark form 

 that occurs in the Southern States. 



Cicindela repanda Dej. 



This species occurs on damp sand near the water, where the roads 

 cross the streams, and in the cranberry bogs, and is locally abundant. 

 We have found it in April, June, July, Augu.st, September and October 

 and apparently the fact that the home of the larva is near the water, in 

 moister ground, permits some individuals to complete their transforma- 

 tion earlier than is possible in the case of those species whose home is 

 in the dryer sand. In Louisiana, Mr. Coverdale noticed the appear- 

 ance of Cicindelae after a copious rain in the fall ; and I should think 

 that the earlier reappearance of repa/u/a was certainly due to a similar 

 ■cause.
