This insect, which appears to be extremely scarce, is the type of 

 Chaudoir's genus Jansenia. This genus has since been considered 

 to contain a number of rather widely differing species, most of 

 which are now rightly reunited to Cicindela, part being retained 

 under Euryoda, which rests on very doubtful generic characters, 

 and may with advantage be discarded.
