TIGER BEETLES 175 
This is presumably a Broun specimen sent to Sharp and later received at BMNH. 
The type label (printed in red) may have been added at BMNH. This specimen should 
be considered as the primary type as it was the first of the three specimens recorded by 
Horn (1926b) and, besides various printed type labels on the three specimens [see also 
below under ATIE(Horn)], it is the only specimen bearing a personal label as 
“Cicindela brevilunata type ¢ W.H.” It is typical of this east coast species.

This appears to be an original specimen of Cicindela perhispida Broun sent to 
Fry. It is a typical east coast specimen but was not recorded by Horn (1926b) and is 
not a type of brevilunata.

The “Hokianga” label is a printed one. There are also two labels handwritten in 
German, presumably by Horn. One starts with “1926” and states he was given the 
specimen by Arrow and that it is possibly the first specimen mentioned in the 
description by Broun or a specimen given to him later from the same locality. The 
other states that it is Broun’s “Holotype” according to A.E. Brookes (NZ). It is the 
second specimen recorded by Horn (1926b). The specimen itself is in the collection as 
C. brevilunata Horn and, although the right elytron is damaged (apical three-quarters 
missing), the pattern on the left elytron is typical of the east coast species.

This, the third specimen recorded by Horn (1926b), is also clearly the east coast 
species.
