Cicindela belli, W. Horn, subsp. umbropolita, W. Horn, Deutsche 

 Ent. Zeitsehr. 1905, p. 61. 



Dr. Horn regards this species as a variety of C. belli, but it 

 appears to be distinct ; it is closely allied to the latter, but differs 

 in its larger size, somewhat more prominent eyes, longer and less 

 convex elytra, clear red trochanters, and in the more sparingly 

 pubescent underside and impunctate, or almost impunctate, 

 episterna of the prosternum ; this last character is very evident in 

 the specimens before me ; the general colour is dull coppery 

 brown, the front parts and the sides of the elytra being more 

 plainly metallic; the shining margins of the latter are produced 

 into a triangularly dentate patch at the middle; the velvety longi- 

 tudinal darker patch is more marked, and the intra-humeral 

 impression is longer and more pronounced ; the white spots are 

 more distinct and are differently situated, one being placed behind 

 the middle near the suture, and another between this and the 

 apex on the centre of the disc ; occasionally there appears to be 

 a spot or shining dark space before the middle. 



Length 8 millim. 



Madras : Nilgiri Hills {H. L. Andrewes). 



Apparently fairly common. Mr. Andrewes takes it on paths in 

 the Ouchterlony Valley, at an altitude of from 2500 to 5000 feet. 



122. Cicindela foveolata, Bchaum. 



Cicindela foveolata, Schaum, Journ. Ent. viii, 1863, p. 60. 



Black, rather shining, very uneven ; labrum large, testaceous, 

 with the anterior margin dark ; palpi yellow with dark apex ; head 

 slightly depressed between the eyes, plainly striated, finely sculp- 

 tured behind ; pronotum with slight bronze reflection, especially 

 at the sides, subcylindrical, parallel-sided, scarcely constricted, 

 finely sculptured, with a foveolate central line, deeper before base, 

 and sometimes with more or less distinct traces of fovese on each 

 side ; elytra shining, subparallel-sided, very uneven, foveolate, 

 distinctly but not closely punctured, especially on the anterior 

 half and before apex ; legs dark, femora more or less coppery, 

 trochanters red ; underside cyaneous or greenish, episterna punc- 

 tured and distinctly, though scantily, pubescent, metasternum 

 strongly pubescent, centre of abdomen bare. 



Length 8 millim.
