Closely allied to the preceding, but smaller, with the elytra inthe female widened behind and not in the middle, and with thestriation of the forehead stronger and the pronotum more rugose,the hairs at the sides being much less evident and shorter ; the. CICINDELA. trochanters are red and the gense not pubescent; the markings ofthe elytra are different, the margins being much more broadly andunevenly whitish testaceous ; at the shoulders there is a crescent,,produced behind iuto a sharp point, which almost joins a spot onthe disc ; the narrow band starting from the centre of the marginis strongly hooked and ceases at about the middle of the disc;below the apex of this and nearer the suture is a white spot, andthe apical margin is white and produced at its upper end towardthe last-named spot; in the specimens I have seen the elytra aresomewhat smaller and more velvety than in the allied species, butthis may be 8-10 millim.
