 Yar. immarginata, W. Horn. 



This variety has the elytra concolorous, without the white 

 margin. Dr. Horn described it on one female specimen, but gives 

 no locality. 



[In the Annotated List of Asiatic beetles in the collection of 

 the Indian Museum (Cicindelidge, Dr. Annandale and Dr. Horn), 

 among the localities given for G. burmeisteri, Eisch. var. stoliczJcana, 

 Bates (Proc. Zool. Soc. London, 1878, p. 713) are Kashmir and 

 the Jhelum Valley. Dr. Horn, however, informs me that the 

 Kashmir locality was given under a misapprehension, and the 

 insect cannot therefore at present be included in the Indian list 

 although it appears to be very probable that it may occur.]
