Cicindela (s. str.) limbata limbata Say, 1823

MATERIAL. 2♂♂ — USA, Texas, Cooke County, 10.5 mi NE St. Jo, 20.09.1998, leg. Walter Johnson ( MSPU).

NOTES. Cicindela limbata has a fragmented distribution area and is separated inti five subspecies [ Johnson, 1989; Pearson et al., 2006, 2015]. The nominotypical subspecies inhabits dry sandy areas in south-eastern Wyoming [ Vaurie, 1950], southern South Dakota [ Kirk, Balsbaugh, 1975], Nebraska [ Carter, 1989], north-eastern Colorado [ Kippenhan, 1990, 1994] and probably occurs in Kansas [ Bousquet, 2012]. In Texas C. l. limbata is recorded for the first time. It should be noted that there is an inaccuracy in the label. St. Jo is placed in Montague County which is adjacent to Cooke County.
