 Cicindela triramosa, Kollar, Ann. Wien. Mus. i, 1836, p. 330. 



Allied to the preceding, but larger and more robust and more 

 brightly coloured, with the sculpture of the elytra stronger ; the 

 white markings are of the same character but are larger and 

 thicker, and the central one proceeds from a dilated spot at the 

 margin, and not from a long marginal patch as in C. grammophora ; 

 the apex is more abruptly truncate obliquely than in the latter 

 species.
