Description

Cicindela (Pancallia) princeps Vigors, 1825

(Figs 5G, 11C)

Cicindela princeps Vigors, 1825:414.

Cicindela (Pancallia) princeps: Rivalier 1961:124.

Specimens examined. (N = 1) [South India] 1♂ (MHJ), Tamil Nadu, Trangadar, 10. IV. 2012, R. Minetti leg.

Description. Internal sac everted apically in lateral view, parallel to median lobe. VA largest in bladders; DA the second largest; VB the third largest; B and DLL smallest in bladders.

VA roundly swollen ventrally. DA everted dorsally. DLL roundly swollen, vested numerously with spines, which are weakly chitinous. VB oval and widely swollen, everted left laterally, vested numerously with long spines, which are forming a band. B roundly swollen slightly right laterally. Flagellum well short, curved. Medial tooth short, extending ventro-apically, tapered gently at apex.

Remarks. This species shares the characteristics of the position of each bladder with C. (P). angulicollis, but is distinguished from the latter by the following characteristics: B exists, medial tooth short. The structure of the internal sac of this species is very similar to that of C. (P). angulicollis as described above. Further study is needed to review whether this species is the same as C. (P). angulicollis.
