Fabrician description. I am totally unacquainted 

 with the insect. 



Sp. 54. Trifasciata. — Fabricius gives two lo- 

 calities for this species ; one America, the other 

 Europe, there can be little doubt, therefore, that 

 he has confounded two distinct insects. According 

 to modern writers, this Fabrician species enjoys an 

 extensive range of country, as it is common to 

 North as well as South America. 



Sp. 61. Guttula. — M. Guerin in his Magazine, 

 maintains that this insect is a Cicindela. He 

 describes it as obtained from the debris of Billar- 

 diere's collection. It is remarkable that Fabricius 

 mentions that the specimen he described was de- 

 prived of its antennae. Mons. Guerin's descrip- 

 tion therefore is partly conjectural, from his figure 

 it certainly approaches Therates more than Cicin- 

 dela, and if not a true Cicindela is the type of a 

 sub-genus. 



Collyris, Fabricius. 



As Collyris was early separated from Cicindela 

 by the above author, and as at the present day 

 it is admitted to approach the Cicindelidse rather 

 than the Carabidse, I here insert my remarks on
