Type locality: "Ash Meadow (2,050 feet), Nye County, Nevada" (original citation). Holotype (♂) location unknown (possibly in KSUC). Cicindela arida A.C. Davis, 1928: 65. Type locality: "Death Valley Junction [Inyo County], California" (original citation). Holotype (♂) in USNM [# 56263]. Synonymy established by Nicolay and Weiss (1932: 352). Distribution. This species, the "Death Valley Tiger Beetle", is known from the Death Valley region (Kritsky and Horner 1998: 17) in Inyo County, California, and Nye County, Nevada. Records. USA : CA, NV Note. This form has been listed as a subspecies of Cicindela tranquebarica Herbst by most authors, including Erwin and Pearson (2008: 191), but Kritsky and Horner (1998: 17) found enough structural differences to substantiate that it represents a distinct species.
