Cicindela rufiventris cumatilis LeConte, 1851
Cicindela cumatilis
LeConte, 1851: 173. Type locality:
"Louisiana"
(original citation), herein restricted to Shreveport, Caddo Parish (see Chevrolat, 1852: 419 as
Cicindela guexiana
). Syntype(s) in MCZ [# 8].
Cicindela guexiana
Chevrolat, 1852: 419. Type locality: "Shreveport [Caddo Parish], Louisiane" (original citation). Syntype(s) location unknown (possibly in UMO). Synonymy established by Melsheimer (1853: 2). Etymology. The specific name
was
proposed for John A. Guex [?-1858]. Born in Geneva in Switzerland, Guex came to America as a young man and settled in New York. He was interested in
Coleoptera
and provided many European correspondents with specimens from America. His collection of beetles, containing over 17,000 species, was presented to the Academy of Natural Sciences in Philadelphia in 1854.
Distribution.
This subspecies, the "Mexican Red-bellied Tiger Beetle", ranges from Louisiana (Pearson et al. 2006: 131) south through Texas to Queretaro and Veracruz (Murray 1979: 53). The records from
"Georgia"
(Boyd 1982: 12) and western Alabama (
Loeding
1945: 9) probably refer to the nominotypical subspecies; those from
"Mississippi,"
"Arkansas"
(Boyd 1982: 12), and Oklahoma (Drew and Van Cleave 1962: 114) are probably based on intergrades and these records are listed under the nominotypical subspecies.
