Treatment

Cicindela schauppii G.H. Horn, 1876a: 240. Type locality: "Corsicana [Navarro County], eastern Texas" (original citation). Lectotype (♂), designated by Ward (1982: 62), in MCZ [# 10042]. Etymology. This species was named after Franz G. Schaupp [1840?-1904], a German immigrant who settled in New York City but spent his last twenty years in Texas. Schaupp sustained himself mostly by teaching languages and as a hobby collected and studied beetles. He was instrumental in the establishment of the Brooklyn Entomological Society.

Distribution.

This species, also known as “Schaupp’s Tiger Beetle", occurs from southeastern Kansas and northwestern Arkansas [see Pearson et al. 2006: Map 69] south to Nuevo León (Cazier 1954: 287). The record from “Missouri” (Erwin and Pearson 2008: 181) needs confirmation.
