Cicindela 12=guttata Dij. 



This species has been found in small numbers at i .akehurst, always 

 near water. The dates are April 15, April 20, July 29. 



Cicindela punctulata Fab. 



This species occurs sparingly in midsummer, in sandy roads and 

 fields. It appears when the preceding species are not to be found or 

 only sparingly found. The exact dates we have are Lakewood, June 

 22 ; Lakehurst, July 12, July 29, September i ; Brookville, July 28 ; 

 Jamesburg, July 4, August 29, September i. 



Cicindela lepida Dcj. 



This species was found by Mr. William T. Davis in a sandy field 

 near the cranberry bogs at Jamesburg on July 4 some years ago and 

 he has since discovered other stations for it near Jamesburg, especially 

 one on an island-like elevation of sand east of the South River and 

 about midway Ijetween Jamesburg and Spotswood. It commences to 

 appear in the latter part of June and is fairly abundant in colonies in 

 July. 



Cicindela rufiventris Dej. 



This species is not named in Professor John B. Smith's "Insects 

 of New Jersey ' ' and its occurrence within the state was unknown 

 until its discovery by Mr. Davis on the east plain near Brookville on 

 July 27. The first specimens were taken on the top of a hillock, 

 about 150 feet above sea level ; others were found later on .sandy roads 

 through the plain and on the sandy margin of a creek. They occurred 

 in colonies and there were long stretches of road without any. Two 

 days later a diligent search at Lakehurst failed to reveal a single speci- 

 men and there is little doubt that it is confined to the East Plain, the 

 most barren part of the pine barrens. 



It is interesting to note that the nearest known stations for this 

 species or its varieties are in the eastern part of Massachusetts and in 

 Virginia. 



Cicindela abdominalis Fab. 



This also is a midsummer species. It has been found at Lake- 

 hurst. July 12, July 29 and September i and on the East Plain, at a 

 comparatively low level, on July 27. At Lakehurst, it occurs on 

 paths through the pine woods ; it flies weakly and, when pursued,
