GlCINDELjE spuria.* 



The division of the genus Cicindela (sensu lata) for which I 

 use the name Cicindelce, spurice includes Dokhtouroff s genus 

 Antennaria, founded on G. iosceles Hope. I regard the generic 

 name Antennaria as preoccupied by the previous use of 

 Antennarius; and also I doubt whether the swells antennae are 

 in themselves a character of sufficient importance to justify the 

 formation of a genus, considering the existence of the somewhat 

 allied species, C. doddi, with slender antennae. C. tenuicollis 

 Macl., does not seem to have any close affinity to C. iosceles or 

 C. doddi; but it can be grouped with these species by some 

 features of importance, as given in the table above, which also 



* Dr. Walther Horn had formerly applied the name Etiryodce spuria', and 

 latterly aberrant forms of Cicindela to the species I have called Cicindelce 

 spurice; I was unaware of this when I proposed to divide the Australian 

 species of Cicindela into Cicindelce spurice and Cicindelce vtrce.
