The long, obliquely-directed, descending arm of the humeral lunule is a distinquishing character. Adults of Cicindela tranquebarica borealis can be recognized by a broken humeral lunule band or by the ends of the band narrowly joined in the middle. Adults of C. tranquebarica kirbyi have the elytral markings broad with a brozy-green ground color.
