Synonyms: Cicindela puritana.
The Puritan Tiger Beetle is an endangered shoreline bluff specialist with populations on Maryland's western shore, upper Eastern Shore, and the shores of the Connecticut River (Middlesex County, Connecticut and Hampshire County, Massachusetts). Pagac et al. (2017) added two new sites along the Severn River in Anne Arundel County. Based on specimen data and publications, this species appears to have been more widespread historically along the Chesapeake Bay. "Over 95% of the species' remaining populations are restricted to the Maryland portion of the Chesapeake Bay where it is associated with tall (usually >9 m), naturally eroding, sandy-clay, earthen shoreline bluffs, typically with sparse to no vegetation and narrow, sandy beaches along the cliff bases)." (Pagac et al., 2017)
