FAMILY CICINDELIDJE. 35 



This species, like the wdgai is, has two broods in the year ; the first appearing in Ma\ . 

 the second in August. It lives in sandy districts, frequenting the sea-beaches, and is one 

 of our largest species. 



ClCINDELA REPANDIS. 



The markings of the repandis resemble those of the vulgaris : the cream or yellowish 

 white of the labium extends to half of the mandibles, and the insert is smaller ; the 

 lunules are wider and more dilated, the middle one extending to near the suture behind. 



ClCINDELA PURPUREA. 



Purple. Head, thorax and elytra bordered with green combined with steel-blue and bril- 

 liant green. Thorax margined with brilliant purple ; legs purple. Limule upon the 

 elytra obsolete. There is a cream-colored dot upon the outer angle of the shoulder, an 

 obsolete lunule behind the middle, a spot upon the outer and posterior angle, and a 

 bar upon the margin inside of the green edge.

 two ovoidal spots, nearly united by narrow and pointed elongations ; middle marked 

 transversely by an oblique bar, posterior by a large round dot, and margin by a line 

 inside of the purple edge. The lunules may be described as broken. 

 It is rather more than half an inch in length, and nearly a quarter of an inch wide.

 chanters purple. 

 It has a wide range, according to Gould ; being found in North-Carolina, and in Ver- 

 mont as far north as Burlington.
