General Description
provided by University of Alberta Museums
Adults of this species are distinguished from others of the Maritima group by the strongly "C" shaped humeral lunule on the elytra. In other aspects they are similar to members of Cicindela repanda. Members of hitricollis from the intervening area are usually brown, but occasional blue or green individuals occur as well.
