Zecicindela perhispida

Zecicindela perhispida is a species of tiger beetle endemic to New Zealand.

[1] This species was described as Cicindela perhispida in 1880 by Thomas Broun from specimens collected in Northland.

[2] It was most recently revised in 2013, in which it was moved to the Zecicindela genus.

[1] The colouration of the abdomen helps the beetle camouflage on yellow sands.

They typically occur in coastal lowland areas on yellowish beach and dune sand.
