By Dr. Wai^ther Horn^ Berlin. , ■ .• .. 



Cicindela lefroyi, sp. no v. 



Differt a Cicindela vittigera, Dej,, prothoracis parte inter- 

 media et antica latiore ; elytris postice minus distincte serrulatis, 

 spina suturali 9 minus retracta, margine laterali ad angu'um 

 apicalem externum magis rotundato declivi ; signatura : puncto 

 basali minore et obliquo (extus et posticem versus descendente), 

 maculis juxta-suturalibus vix brevioribus, fascia media discoidali 

 et antice et postice evidenter abbreviata (antice non extus ^ postice 

 vix intus curvata) ; macula apicali anteriore rotundata (non oblonga), 

 posteriore hujus minus approximata ; genis nudis plus minus ve 

 cj^'aneis ; iv antennarum articulo cf non penicillio longo sed solum- 

 modo setis 2 brevibus flavis distantibus ornato. Long. I2|-i5^ mm. 

 (sine labro).

The bald cheeks, the broad prothorax and the shortened middle 

 band of the elytra, which is almost straight, are the principal features 

 of this new species, which has been caught together with Cicindela 

 vittigera, Dej. Front and pronotum are coppery with a bluish- 

 greenish tinge at the ordinary places ; the elytra show an opaque 

 velvet-like black, except at the lateral margin and the base, both 

 of which are (not velvet-like) dark green or bluish black. The 

 pro-episterna are densely clothed towards the coxae with white 

 bristles, elsewhere bald. The margins of the abdomen and of the 

 metasternum, the meta-episterna (bald in the centre), meso-epi- 

 mera and meso-episterna (laterally bald) also clothed with white 

 bristles. The apex of the suture of the elytra of the d' only a 

 little, of the 9 moderately, retracted. 



Cicindela alleni. 



Species intermedia inter Cicindelam nivicinctam, Chvr., et C. 

 limosam, Saund., genis pilosis; ceteris capitis partibus nudis, 

 quibusdam pilis supra antennarum insertionem positis exceptis ; 

 fronte inter oculos excavata (oculos versus etiam perparum magis 

 erecta quam in C. limosa subtilissimeque — fere aequaliter atque in 

 C. nivicincta, subtilius quam in C. limosa — striolata) ; prothorace 

 omnino ut in hac specie, i.e., lateribus leviter rotundatis, basi 

 angustata, marginibus lateralibus pronoti sparsim pilosis ; elytris
