CICINDELID^.

 Ceylon : Kandy. 



Dr. ~W. Horn in his description (I. c.) compares the species with 

 C. 10-punctata, and does not mention C. viridilabris in connection 

 with it, and says that it differs from the first-named species in 

 having the head and pronotum much more rugose. This is 

 certainly the case ; G. lQ-punctata, moreover, is a larger insect 

 with wider elytra, and has a longer and more parallel-sided pro- 

 notum with more distinct pubescence at the sides ; the markings 

 are somewhat similar but there is a white spob at the shoulders, 

 which is absent in the var. labiocenea. 



Var. severini, TF. Horn. 



This variety is distinguished, according to Dr. Horn, from the 

 var. labiocenea by the less projecting eyes, the finer sculpture 

 of the orbital plates and of the pronotum, the more distinctly 

 defined metallic space at the shoulders of the elytra, the more 

 sparingly punctured and pubescent episterna of the prosternum, 

 and the more scantily pubescent sides of the pronotum ; the elytral 

 spots are on the whole more distinct in the specimens I have seen, 

 but there is very little difference between the two varieties ; and 

 it would be a difficult matter to separate them if a considerable 

 number were mixed together.

 Andreives, May to July) ; Bombay : Kanara ; Bengal ; Biiema : 

 Teinzo; Tonkin. 



Var. fusco-cuprascens, W. Horn. 



Larger and more robust than the type-form, with the head and 

 pronotum broader, and the shining humeral space more crescent- 

 shaped ; the anterior discoidal spot is larger, and the ante-apical 

 spot is not produced behind ; the whole breast, front and pronotum 

 are coppery, and the elytra are of a dull velvety fuscous coppery 

 colour, with the exception of the humeral crescent ; the elytra are 

 more sparingly but more distinctly punctured than in the var. 

 labiocenea, from which it may also be known by its colour, and the 

 brownish metallic penultimate joint of the maxillary palpi. 



From the var. severini it may be distinguished by the more 

 strongly projecting eyes, the somewhat coarser sculpture of the 

 forehead and pronotum, the bright brown upperside, copper}' breast,, 

 distinct elytral punctuation, less shining humeral patch, and the 

 stronger punctuation of the episterna of the prosternum.
