Holotype S and allotype $ in the Museum of Compara- 
tive Zoology (Type No. 28,997) and 1 9 paratype in my 
collection all from Dobodura, Papua, collected by P. J. 
Darlington Jr., for whom, of course, the species is named. 
3. Cicindela decemguttata urvillei Dej. 
(Figs. 4-5) 
Of the six specimens, from Dobodura and Milne Bay, 
belonging to this subspecies only two have the typical mark- 
ings of urvillei Dej. The other specimens are aberrations 
which need not be named but are worth mentioning here. 
They are (a) two specimens without the humeral top-fleck 
(Fig. 4) ; and (b) two specimens with the discal spot con- 
nected with the upper marginal spot, which is in turn 
connected with the lower marginal spot (Fig. 5). One 
specimen of “a” has one elytron as in “b”. 
4. Cicindela discreta Schaum. 
Two specimens from Dobodura, Papua.
