Ellipsoptera macra macra (LeConte, 1856)
Cicindela macra
LeConte, 1856a: 50. Type locality: "Wisconsin and Minnesota" (original citation), herein restricted to Jordan, Scott County, Minnesota (see Horn 1928: 13). Syntype(s) in MCZ [# 21].
Cicindela macra mercurialis
Casey, 1913: 36. Type locality:
"Iowa"
(original citation). One syntype in USNM [# 45955]. Synonymy established by Horn (1915: 395).
Cicindela macra topekana
Casey, 1916: 31. Type locality: "M[oun]t Hope, Kansas" (original citation). Three syntypes [3 originally cited] in USNM [# 45954]. Synonymy established by Horn (1926: 299).
Distribution.
This subspecies, also known as the "Sandy Stream Tiger Beetle", ranges from Beaver Islands in northern Mic higan (Dunn 1987: 11) to southern Wyoming, south to north-central Colorado (Kippenhan 1990: 314), Arkansas, and Tennessee [see Pearson et al. 2006: Map 101]. The record from
"Ohio"
(Willis 1967: 269) needs confirmation (see Graves and Brzoska 1991: 28); that from
"Texas"
(Freitag 1999: 94) probably refers to the
fluviatilis
form; those from central and southeastern New Mexico (Fall and Cockerell 1907: 155) are probably in error.

Note.
Intergrades between this and the
fluviatilis
forms occur in southern Kansas and eastern Oklahoma (Pearson et al. 2006: 169).
