Note.

1. Some authors (e.g., Nagano 1982: 39) have treated Cicindela pacifica Schaupp as a valid subspecies of Cicindela hemorrhagica LeConte. 2. Freitag (1999: 62), Pearson et al. (2006: 135), and Erwin and Pearson (2008: 141) considered Cicindela woodgatei Casey as a valid subspecies of Cicindela hemorrhagica LeConte despite the fact that there seem to be no consistent characters to separate the adults from those of the nominate form. 3. Another subspecies, Cicindela hemorrhagica hentziana Leng, is found in Baja California; its record from “Utah” (Leng 1920: 42) is in error.
