Cicindela atkinsoni. Gestro, Ann. Mus. Genova, 1893, p. 857. 



This species appears to be closely allied to the var. lineifrons of 

 C. striolata, but is much smaller, with larger labrum, and differ- 

 ently arranged elytral spots, which are more numerous ; the elytra,, 

 moreover, are a little narrower, and the sculpture more evident ; 

 the pronotum is much the same both as regards form and sculp- 

 ture ; the labrum is white, large, and arched, with a small central 

 tooth in the middle ; head coppery, shining, with the forehead 

 furnished with two green lines, base of antenna? bronze green ; 

 pronotum coppery, with the sides narrowly greenish-cyaneous ; 

 elytra blackish bronze, narrowly and obsoletely edged with bronze- 

 green, with the humeral crescent entire, elongate and broad, very 

 slightly curved inwards at the apex, and the apical crescent inter- 

 rupted ; besides these there is a central oval spot near the side 

 margins, and six other spots on each elytron, the first in the 

 centre of the base, four before and about the middle, and the sixth 

 behind ; all these lunules and spots are white surrounded with 

 black ; legs metallic : underside coppery in front, abdomen 

 cynneous, sides of the latter and the episterna pilose.

Group 23. 



This group contains a single species, C. fuliginosa. It is closely 

 allied to the two preceding groups, but differs from the former in 

 having the gena? without seta? ; and from the latter in the last- 

 mentioned point (which does not afford a good character in this 

 case as the seta? in C. striolata are so scanty and fugitive), and also 

 in the fact that the disc of the pronotum is more or less setose. 

 The species is small, and may at once be known from its allies by 

 having the whole of the margins of the elytra from scutellum to 

 apex continuously bordered with white.

Allied to C. striolata which it much resembles at first sight, but 

 easily known by having the whole of the margins of the elytra
