338 REVISION OF THE CICINDELID^ OF AUSTRALIA, 



serve to separate it most decidedly from the typical species of 

 Cicindela. It is, I believe, the intention of Dr. Horn to review 

 the great genus Cicindela as a whole, and arrange the species in 

 groups; should he carry out this project he will doubtless fix the 

 position and value of my Cicindelce spuria} authoritatively 



losceles-Group. 



Two species of this group are known, namely, G. crassicornis 

 Macl., and G. iosceles Hope. 1 have examined the type of C. 

 crassicornis, in the Macleay Museum, in comparison with a 

 specimen of G. iosceles, and separated them thus : — 



Pro- and mesepisterna glabrous; metepisterna and posterior coxae setose 



C. crassicornis Macleay. 



Pro-, mes- and metepisterna setose G. iosceles Hope. 



The shape of the prothorax is also very different, but I did not 

 record the differences; speaking from memory, I may note that 

 in G. crassicornis it is shorter and more rounded on the sides 

 than in G. iosceles. 



Cicindela iosceles Hope. 



l)r. Walther Horn has sent me a cotype of G. platycera, Gestro, 

 which he has noted as synonymous with C. iosceles Hope, from 

 examination of Hope's types; this specimen of C. platycera is 

 identical with my C. hackeri. It may be noted that in C. iosceles 

 the male has the labial palpi with the epical joint green, the 

 other joints testaceous; the female has the whole of the labial 

 palpi dark greenish. 



Range. — Cooktown (Hacker) to Port Essington (fide Hope). 



Doddi-Group. 



Cicindela doddi Sloane. 



In the description of C. doddi I have omitted to record that 

 the type (£) has the proepisterna with a few white setae above 

 the coxae, and the posterior coxae setose near the anterior external 

 an<_de.
