with a broader head, still more prominent eyes and more protu- 

 berant sides of the prothorax at the basal angles. The female has 

 the external angulation near the apex of the elytra rounded, while 

 in sperata this angle is acute, even inclining slightly backward at 

 the extreme apex. 



Of dorsalis, of which saulcyi is evidently'' more than a variety, 

 I have before me a strongly marked subspecies from an unre- 

 corded locality. This has the elytra in the male more elongate, 

 with the punctures much coarser and denser and the dark mark- 

 ings fine and incomplete, the posterior arcuate dash not bent in- 

 ward to the suture but fine, even, very feebly arcuate and ending 

 at the middle of the width behind apical third ; the middle longi- 

 tudinal dash is much less broadly hooked anteriorly, and, anterior 

 to this, there is only a small point of dark color in the intrahu- 

 meral impression. In size it is larger than the average dorsalis, 

 being 14.0 X 5.3 mm. in measurement. It may be named semipicta. 



Of repanda, also, I have before me representatives of a sub- 

 species from El Paso, Texas, which may be called unijuncta. It 

 is smaller and narrower than repanda, as compared male to male, 

 with a relativel}" larger prothorax and smaller elytra, the white 

 maculation of the latter nearly similar but broader, the median 

 band broadly expanded at the margin, uniting with the humeral, 

 but not with the apical, lunule ; the punctuation of the elytra is 

 coarser and stronger. The dimensions of the male are 10.0 X 3.8 

 mm. The species allied to repanda are very carelessly discrimi- 

 nated at present in our published lists ; hirticollis, for example, 

 is a quite distinct species, and has for a well marked geographic 

 race ponder o sa ; 12-guttata is also distinct as a species from 

 either repanda or hirticollis. 



Willistoni is certainly distinct from fulgida and is not a variety 

 as marked in the Henshaw list ; it more nearly resembles latesig- 

 nata. Imperfecta is a perfectly isolated species and not a varietj'^ 

 of cinctipennis. Several other corrections should be made in the 

 synonymy of Cicindela, which lack of time prohibits for the 

 present.
