Fabrician description. 1 am totally unacquainted 

 with the insect. 



Sp. 54. Trifasciata. — Fabricius gives two lo- 

 calities for this species ; one America, the other 

 Europe, there can be little doubt, therefore, that 

 he has confounded two distinct insects. According- 

 to modern writers, this Fabrician species enjoys an 

 extensive range of country, as it is common to 

 North as well as South America. 



Sp. 61. Guttula. — M. Guerin in his Magazine, 

 maintains that this insect is a Cicindela. He 

 describes it as obtained from the debris of Billar- 

 diere's collection. It is remarkable that Fabricius 

 mentions that the specimen he described was de- 

 prived of its antennae. Mons. Guerin's descrip- 

 tion therefore is partly conjectural, from his figure 

 it certainly approaches Therates more than Cicin- 

 dela, and if not a true Cicindela is the type of a 

 sub-genus. 



Collyris, Fabricius. 



As Collyris was early separated from Cicindela 

 by the above author, and as at the present day 

 it is admitted to approach the Cicindclidse rather 

 than the Carabidse, I here insert my remarks on
