Ohlone tiger beetle
The Ohlone tiger beetle, ''Cicindela ohlone'', is endemic to California. It was first discovered by Isaac Field in March 1987 and was named and described in 1993 by Richard Freitag and David H. Kavanaugh. ''C. ohlone'' is part of the ''Cicindela'' genus and is most closely related to ''C. purpurea''.
''C. ohlone'' ranges in length from 9½ mm to 12½ mm with the females at the higher end of the range. The body is a bright, sericate green with bronze tints on the dorsum and the elytra. ''C. ohlone'' differs from other ''purpurea'' in that it has a larger body size, different gentialia morphology and different seasonal activity cycle .
==Habitat==
''C. ohlone'' is endemic to Santa Cruz County, California which is the southernmost habitat of tiger beetles in the ''purpurea'' group. They are allopatric relative to other ''purpurea''. ''C. ohlone'' are found on coastal terraces in remnant patches of native California coastal prairie grasslands with poorly drained clay or sandy clay over Santa Cruz mudstone. This soil becomes hard packed in late spring and summer which is an important feature for the activities of the beetle. Foraging, mating, and egg-laying often occur in these open spaces .〔
