Comments
Until recently both these species were recorded from Syria, Lebanon and Israel by several authors as Cicindela herbacea Klug (Valdenberg 1983[5]; Nussbaum 1987[6]; Wiesner 1992[1]; Puchkov and Matalin 2003[2]; Chikatunov et al. 2006[7]; Franzen 2007[3]; Ptashkovsky 2009[8]). However, according to recent data Cicindela herbacea does not occur in Israel (Deuve 2011[4], 2012[9]). The nominative subspecies occurs in Lebanon and Syria; Cicindela herbacea aleppensis Deuve, 2012 is recorded from north-western Syria, while Cicindela herbacea perreaui Deuve, 1987 and Cicindela herbacea colasi Deuve, 2011 are found in Turkey Tunceli and Adana Provinces, respectively. On the basis of the shape of pronotum (Figs 38 vs 39), white elytral pattern (Figs 54 vs 55), size of aedeagus and shape of it apex (Figs 93 vs 97), as well as shape of internal sack (Figs 94–96 vs 98–100) we consider all studied specimens from Israel to be Cicindela javeti azari Deuve, 2011 (type locality – Lebanon, Jezzine). It should be noted that the taxonomy of intraspecific forms within the ‘campestris’-group is complex, and additional studies are necessary.
