Cicindela corbetti, W. Horn, Deutsche Ent. Zeitschr. 1899, p. 53. 



Allied to C. hemorrhoid alls, but at first sight more like C. shivah, 

 from which, however, it is totally distinct. Labrum large, golden 

 coppery, with strong teeth ; mandibles large, white, with black tips ; 

 head broad, eyes not very prominent, clypeus and front of forehead 

 golden, genae and underside green, the rest of the surface dull 

 greenish bronze or aeneous ; antennae coppery red, fuscous to- 

 wards apex, palpi testaceous, with dark apex ; pronotum and elytra 

 black, dull, the former finely rugose, with the central line and 

 anterior and posterior depressions distinct, transverse, broadest in 

 front and rounded gradually behind; the elytra are almost smooth, 

 with scarcely any apparent sculpture, with a small yellow spot at 

 the shoulders and a large spot of the same colour, roughly semi- 

 crescent-shaped, just about the middle; there is no apical spot, 

 and the apical edge is green ; legs metallic, with the trochanters 

 red ; underside cyaneous, with the chief part of the front portion 

 brilliantly coloured with metallic crimson, golden green and copper ; 

 the pubescence of the underside is very scanty, being confined to 

 the middle of the prosternum and the coxae. 



Length 14-15 millim. 



Burma: Tbarawaddy (Corbett). 



Type in the British Museum (coll. Nevinson); cotype in coll.

A somewhat conspicuous species which may be known by the 

 red apex of the abdomen and the two regular large yellow spots,

 by the metallic colouring of the labrum and head ; the latter is
