Abstract
The tiger beetle species, Cicindelidia aeneicollis (Bates 1881) is redescribed, as Bates original description was inadequate and did not accurately capture the character states or variation found within the species. The specific epithet aeneicollis is partially misleading as the proepisternum is mostly aeneous (bronze/copper) with the basal quarter to third being polychromatic, which the description does not convey. Some populations of this species from the western coast of Mexico exhibit significant variation in maculations, with individuals ranging from weakly marked (as in Bates description) to much more extensively marked.
