Occasionally examples of this species superficially resemble 

 O. multiguttata ; these may be distinguished by the shape of the 

 pronotum, which is plainly constricted behind in C. striolata. 



Var. lineifrons, Chaud, 



This variety has the head and pronotum, as a rule, more dis- 

 tinctly and brightly coppery, and the elytra broader and more 

 rounded at the sides, the markings are reduced, and there is no 

 trace of the longitudinal stripe extending from the shoulder 

 almost to the apex ; this is entirely broken up into a very narrow 

 humeral crescent and several small spots on each elytron ; the 

 pubescence of the underside is much the same as in the type-form, 

 but it appears to be easily rubbed off and so is very deceptive. 

 Length 10-13 millim.

Var. parvimaculata, nov. 



Closely allied to var. lineifrons, 



ig. 185. — Cicindcla striolata 

 var. parvimaculata. 



but larger, with the pronotum 

 more quadrate, less rounded at 

 the sides and much more finely 

 sculptured, almost smooth ; the 

 sides are very slightly and 

 gradually narrowed to the base ; 

 elytra with the markings re- 

 duced to a few small or very- 

 small spots and blotches on 

 each ; the pubescence of the 

 underside is much as in the 

 type-form. 



Length 15 millim. 



Described from one female 

 specimen, labelled " Dhargeely," 

 in the British Museum, pro- 

 bably in error for Darjiling. 



Dr. Horn kindly examined 

 this insect and labelled it as a 

 new species ; very probably he 

 may be right, but it is so closely 

 allied to the var. lineifrons that 

 I would rather not describe it 

 as specifically distinct on a 

 single example.
