Cicindela senilis, or the senile tiger beetle is a species of tiger beetle found in western California.[1] It lives in tidal mud flats and both coastal and inland salt marshes.[2][3]
Three subspecies are recognized:
- Cicindela senilis senilis (G.H. Horn, 1867)
- Cicindela senilis exoleta (Casey, 1909)
- Cicindela senilis frosti (Varas Arangua, 1928)
- Populations of Cicindela senilis frosti have been found in a salt marsh in Lake Elsinore in Riverside County, as well as in Los Angeles, Orange, San Bernardino, and San Diego Counties.[4]
