The difficulty in considering the nomenclature of Cicindela perhispida Broun, 
1880 and C. brevilunata Horn, 1926 is illustrated in Table 2. All five specimens listed 
for the former species are Broun specimens which are or have been in the British 
Museum (Natural History). Of the three listed for the latter species, two are Broun 
specimens which are listed also under the former species and one is not. 
A specimen labelled “Hokianga” (on the west coast) was recorded in the original 
descriptions of both C. perhispida by Broun (1880) and C. brevilunata by Horn 
(1926b). It seems likely that this is the same specimen as Horn (1936) acknowledged 
that it was from the Broun collection, although he stated there was no proof that it was
