Cicindela goryi

Cicindela pochoni Mandl, 1959 Cicindela goryi is a species of tiger beetle from southern India.

It was earlier treated as a subspecies of the closely related Cicindela aurofasciata.

[1] Unlike in Cicindela aurofasciata, goryi has the two yellow elytral bands broad and fused to form a cross.

They have a wider distribution and are found in the plains of peninsular India unlike aurofasciata which is found in the Western Ghats.

[2] The name goryi derives from the collections of H. L. Gory from which[3] Maximilien Chaudoir described the species.
