Cicindela repanda repanda Dejean, 1825

Cicindela repanda Dejean, 1825: 74. Type locality: «Amérique septentrionale" (original citation), herein restricted to Framingham, Middlesex County, Massachusetts (see Harris 1911: 9). Syntype(s) in MHNP.

Cicindela repanda unijuncta Casey, 1897: 299. Type locality: "El Paso [El Paso County], Texas" (original citation). Two syntypes in USNM [# 45977]. Synonymy established (as aberration) by Horn (1902a: 234).

Cicindela repanda hoosieri Mares, 1921: 310. Type locality: "Cedar Lake, Lake County, Indiana" (original citation). Holotype (♀) in INHS (Webb 1980: 78). Synonymy established by Horn (1926: 269).

Cicindela repanda-unijuncta form duncani Knaus, 1924: 126. Type locality: "near Phoenix, Ariz[ona]" (original citation). Holotype [by monotypy] probably in KSUC. Synonymy established, under the name Cicindela duodecimguttata repanda hoosieri Mares, by Horn (1930: 81). Note. Even if this taxon was originally proposed at infrasubspecific rank, it is deemed to be subspecific from its original publication because it was adopted as the valid name of a subspecies (e.g., Leng and Mutchler 1927: 7) before 1985 (see ICZN 1999: Article 45.6.4.1).

Cicindela repanda var. maehleri Robinson, 1948: 27. Type locality: "Brazos County, Texas" (original citation). Holotype (♂) in AMNH [# 1207]. Synonymy established by Boyd (1982: 6). Etymology. The subspecific name was proposed for Kenneth Leforest Maehler [1912-1991] who worked as plant quarantine entomologist with the United States Department of Agriculture.

Distribution.

This subspecies, also known as the "Bronze Tiger Beetle", ranges from Newfoundland to southwestern British Columbia, south to southern Oregon, northeastern Arizona, central Texas, and northern Florida (Choate 2003: Map 18) [see Pearson et al. 2006: Map 16]. The record from "Northwest Territories" (Boyd 1982: 6) needs confirmation.
