Ellipsoptera gratiosa ( Guerin-Meneville, 1840) View in CoL
Cicindela gratiosa Guérin-Méneville, 1840: 37. Type locality: Pensacola, Escambia County, Florida (inferred from title of the paper). One syntype in MCZ (collection LeConte).
Distribution.
This species, also known as the "Whitish Tiger Beetle", inhabits the Coastal Plain ranging from Virginia (Hoffman et al. 2006: 17) to the Florida Panhandle, west to southwestern Alabama ( Löding 1945: 10) [see Pearson et al. 2006: Map 106]; also recorded from “Mississippi” (Erwin and Pearson 2008: 229). The record from Louisiana (Boyd 1982: 17) is probably in error or based on a stray.
