SP0L1A ZEYLANICA. 
36 
The few differences noted impart a distinct character to the 
sab-species. I suppose that the specimen caught by G. Le wis near 
Colombo and mentioned by H. W. Bates (Ann. Nat. Hist,, 1886, 
p. 7i) belongs to this new sub-species. 
Gicindela corticata, Putz., sub-sp. Iceticolor , n. var. 
Differt a typo statura majore robustiore ; capite prothoraceque 
crassioribus ; fronte inter oculos vittis 2 cyanescentibus ornata ; 
prothoracis episternis paullo densius punctato-pilosis ; elytris 
amplioribus, superficie sequali (impressionibus illis levissimis ant 
longitudinalibus aut omnino irregularibus deficientibus), serie 
punctorum viridimicantium longitudinali evidentiore, punctura 
et antice et postice rariore nusquam confluente; macula flaves- 
cente antica majore (magnitudine illius posticse) marginique 
aequaliter approximata atque anteapicali \ 4 primis antennarum 
articulis paullulum brunnescentibus, femoribus pallidis vix hinc 
inde metallescentibus, penultimo palporum maxillarium articulo 
toto flavo. Corpore supra laetius brunneo-cuprascente, elytris 
opacis. Long. 9-10J mm.: one male, two females. 
The three specimens originate from three different collections, 
namely, coll. Tshoffen, coll. Nonfried, coll. Schlttter. The male 
differs from the female by the smaller size, narrower shape, 
shorter labrum without any tooth, and the tip of the elytra a 
little more tapering. The penis shows a long hook. The two 
violaceous spots between the eyes in the male specimen examined 
by me may prove to be accidental. 
I am not quite sure about the pubescence of the abdomen in the 
new sub-species ; the lateral parts may be a little more, the disk 
perhaps rather less covered with hairs than the type. 
Gicindela willeyi , n. sp., pi. f. 4. 
C. water ho usei similis, differt fronte inter oculos magis 
excavaca, vertice angustiore ; pronoto angustiore longioreque, ab ' 
angulis anticis usque ad angulos posticos gradatim (lateribus 
rectis) dilatato, margine antico discoque paullo distinctius trans- 
versim plicatis ; elytris in medio magis dilatatis; parte apicali 
multo longius arcuato-angustata, extremo apice brevius rotundato, 
spina suturali valde longiore ; orbitis, scutello, extremo elytrorum 
apice, malis, prothoracis episternis lsete cyaneis ; palpis maxillari= 
bus flavis, dimidia parte distali articuli ultimi metallica ; macula 
flava in angulo humerali posita valde minuta aut deffciente. 
Long. 8-9^ mm. (sine labro) : two females, Central Province. 
The other allied species are G. dormeri m. and G. gangl- 
haueri m. The former is already sufficiently distinguished by 
the parallel shape of the pronotum and the elytra {c.f. pi. f. 10) :
