Brief Note: The Status of Some Tiger Beetles (Coleoptera: Cicindelidae: Cicindela spp.) in Southern Ohio

Abstract

A tiger beetle survey of the Ohio counties that border the Ohio, Great Miami, and Little Miami rivers located eleven new county records. Cicindela sexguttata is reported in Brown, Gallia, and Lawrence counties; C. repanda from Brown, Clermont and Warren counties, C. duodecimguttata from Brown County, C. unipunctata from Gallia County, and C. cuprascens from Brown, Clermont, and Scioto counties. A search for C splendida in Adams County and C. hirticollis in Hamilton County failed to locate specimens in their previous localities, suggesting they may be extirpated from those areas.
