CICINDELA.

transverse and somewhat irregular, a little behind the middle, and 

 another, nearly round, before the apex ; legs metallic, coppery, 

 green and cyaneous, trochanters red ; underside bright green in 

 front, darker green behind, with the sides of the front segments 

 of the abdomen, the disc of the metasternum, and the mesostermun 

 pubescent ; episterna of the pro- and meta-sternum and the 

 gense bare. 



Length 16 millim.

Superficially this variety resembles 0. hcemorrhoidalis, but may 

 at once be known by the colour of the labrum (which is metallic 

 green in the latter species), the narrower thorax, narrower and 

 more parallel-sided elytra, and the dark metallic apical segments 

 of the abdomen ; the spots also are different, the humeral one 

 being larger, and the intermediate and apical ones smaller. 



The var. elegantula, Dokht., of which Dr. Horn has kindly sent 

 me for inspection the unique type, was taken in China ; it is very 

 closely allied to the typical C. mouhoti, but is smaller and con- 

 siderably narrower, with the sculpture of the pronotum finer, and 

 the head and pronotum of a much brighter metallic green colour ; 

 the markings are similar in character to those of the type-form, 

 but the anterior stripe is longer and much narrower, and the 

 spots are smaller.

A very distinct species. Head and pronotum bright green, the 

 former with the sides violaceous ; labrum testaceous, with dark 

 margins, strongly toothed, rather short, leaving the large sharp 

 mandibles much exposed ; antennas with the first joint coppery, 

 the next three cyaneous, and the following fuscous ; palpi testa- 

 ceous with the apex dark ; head long, with a broad flat excavate 

 space between the eyes, which are not prominent, finely striated, 

 and very finely rugose behind ; pronotum subquadrate, about as 

 long as the head without the labrum, broadest in front, sides 

 almost straight, very gradually narrowed behind, rather strongly 

 impressed in front and behind, with a shining callosity at each end 

 of the posterior impression, central line obsolete, upper surface 

 very finely rugose, more strongly so in front of the anterior 

 impression ; presternum bright violaceous, the colour, however, 

 not spreading on to the pronotum ; sides of pronotum without 

 traces of setae ; elytra rather narrow, subparallel-sided, gently 

 rounded, velvety green, with more or less distinct violaceous 

 margins, dull, with scarcely evident sculpture unless viewed
