CICINDELIDJE. 



and with short striae near the eyes ; pronotum with the sides 

 straight between the anterior and posterior sulci, slightly nar- 

 rowed in front, with slight transverse striation and a few scattered 

 punctures ; elytra moderately finely punctured in front, but 

 coarsely punctured in and behind the middle ; legs testaceous : 

 sides of metasternum narrowly punctured. 



The form of the pronotum, taken in conjunction with the 

 sculpture of the elytra, will serve to distinguish it from its allies.

Allied in general appearance to C. attenuata s Eedt., but differs 

 in having the vertex shorter behind the eyes, which are more 

 prominent, the frontal furrow much less impressed and less 

 convergent, and the space between the eyes flat : the pronotum is 

 less dilated behind and more strongly rugose on the disc, and the 

 pronotal collum is less distinct ; the sides are remotely punctured 

 and pilose ; the elytra are regularly and rather coarsely punc- 

 tured almost throughout, the punctures never coalescing, except 

 an occasional pair just before the apex : an obscure median trans- 

 verse luteous band is sometimes present ; the antennae are slightly 

 thickened and have the first five joints cyaneous (the third and 

 fourth being rufous at the apex) and the following joints darker ; 

 the tarsi and the hind tibiae are bluish-black.
