34 Notes. on Australian Coleoptera. 
Cicindela Wilcoxw: length 5’, breadth 2’; nearly allied to 
the European sort Cirewmdata; of a copper colour, covered 
with a white pubescence; labrum of a yellowish white ; 
external part of mandibule black; elytra with a broad 
white margin, which forms, Ist, a Iunula on the humeral 
angle; 2nd, a ramified branch before the middle of the 
length of the elytra, directing itself toward the anterior part, 
then bending downward, and forming a long lunula near the 
suture; 3rd, a long spot, which is directed towards the 
former. The lower parts of the body are of a dark green, 
with the sides of the thorax pubescent ; legs copper coloured. 
This Crcondela was sent to me from the Clarence River by 
Mr. Wilcox. | 
Cicindela Circumecincta: length 52’, breadth 2’—This 
Cicindela has the cylindrical form of Odontocheila, and is 
of a dark copper colour ; the labrum is narrow, sulcated, of 
a dirty white, and is terminated by three teeth, of which 
the strongest is situated in the middle; mandibule of a 
black colour ; mentum with a very strong tooth ; eyes large 
and prominent ; thorax almost square in the female, narrow 
and cylindrical in the male ; elytra with a narrow, marginal, 
whitish spot near the middle of the length, which extends 
downwards, as a narrow line along the margin, and some- 
times unites with a narrow arched line which covers the 
apex. Inferior parts of the body green, with a white pu- 
bescence ; legs copper coloured, with the tibixe: sometimes 
purple. | 
I received my first specimens of this species from Mr. 
Thouzet, of Rockhampton, to which I owe so many insects — 
of the north east part of Australia. Since then numerous 
others have been sent to me from Brisbane, the Clarence 
River, and Eastern Creek. It appears to be very common 
in Queensland ; and it is also found in New Caledonia. This 
singular insect is very remarkable on account of the differ- 
ence of form the thorax presents in the two sexes. I have 
described this insect under the name it bears in Mr. 
Deyrolles’s collection, and under which he has sent it to his 
correspondents. 
The only other sorts of Cicindela of the Australian conti- 
nent I possess in my collection, is the common Upsilon, and 
the Nigrita, MacLeay, junr., from Port Denison. 
I have now to say a few words on the Cicindelide: of New 
Zealand. Numerous specimens have been received by me 
from Dunedin of the Laticincta White, Turberculata Fab.,and
