Note.

1. Rumpp (1956: 141) reported the presence of intergrade populations between this subspecies and the nyensis form at places located between the type localities of amargosae and nyensis. 2. Cicindela amargosae has been regarded as a subspecies of Cicindela senilis LeConte by some authors (e.g., Willis 1968) or Cicindela willistoni LeConte (e.g., Kippenhan 1996b: 56) but treated as a closely related but distinct species by Leffler (1987: 8) and Pearson et al. (2006: 117).
