Dromochorus pilatei Guérin-Méneville, 1849: [plate 162] 2. Type locality: "Velasco [Brazoria County], Texas" (original citation). Holotype [by monotypy] (♂) probably in MHNP (collection J. Thomson, see Schaupp 1884a: 85). Etymology. The specific name honors Louis Pilate [1816-1852], a French naturalist traveller who collected in Alabama, Louisiana, Texas, and the state of Yucatán in Mexico. Pilate died at the age of 36 of hypertrophy of the heart.

Cicindela maga LeConte, 1875a: 161. Type locality: "near Lake Ponchartrain [Jefferson Parish], Louisiana" (original citation). Syntype(s) [3 originally cited] in MCZ [# 22]. Synonymy established by Sallé (1877: 5).

Distribution.

This species, also known as the "Cajun Dromo Tiger Beetle", is found along and near the Gulf Coast in southern Louisiana (Schaupp 1884a: 85) and northeastern Texas [see Pearson et al. 2006: Map 92].
