CICINDELID/E. 



(2) 2. Cicindela repanda. (De Jean.) Wavy Cicindela. 



Cicindela repanda. De J. Coleopt. i, 74? 

 Length of the body 5\ — 6 lines. 



Locality not stated. 



DESCRIPTION. 



Very like the preceding species, but the labrum is shorter and less prominent in the middle ; the 

 lateral margin of the elytra is not continuously white ; the lower limb of the humeral crescent 

 slopes towards the apex of the elytrum ; the broken or S-shaped band terminates in a streak at the 

 margin : all the markings also of the elytra are buff-coloured rather than white ; and the minute 

 mucro or point that terminates the suture, and the serrulations of the apex of the elytra, are less 

 conspicuous. 



De Jean regards this species as synonymous with C. hirticollis, but, if I am correct in my refer- 

 ence to him, of which I have little doubt, they are clearly distinct. 



(3) 3. * Cicindela Proteus. Proteus Cicindela. 



C. ( Proteus j labro unidentato medio subprominulo, supra fusco-cuprea, elytris punctis quatuor,fasciaque media fracta, albis. 

 Proteus Cicindela, with the labrum unidentate, rather prominent in the middle ; above brown-copper, elytra with four white 

 dots and a mesal broken white band. 



Length of the body 5f lines. 



This species, of which several specimens were taken in the Expedition, appears 

 to abound in North America. Dr. Bigsby met with it in Canada, and there was 

 a specimen in the late Mr. Marsham's collection probably from the United States. 



DESCRIPTION. 



Similar to C. repanda, but instead of the humeral and terminal crescents, in all the varieties, are 

 four white dots, two at the base and two at the apex of the elytra; the middle broken or tortuous 

 band resembles the figure 7 reversed, and does not terminate in a marginal streak. The body 

 underneath, as usual, is golden-green, or green with clouds of blue, above it is dark brown with a 

 tint of copper. 



Variety. B. With the apical dots not larger than the humeral. 



C. With an interrupted crescent at the apex. 



D. With three apical and two humeral dots ; intermediate band internally abbreviated. 



E. Like the last but with only one humeral dot.
