Cicindela aurofasciata (sometimes called the "gold cross"[1]) is a species of tiger beetle endemic to India . It usually occurs in open grass dominated habitats and varies in size between 12 and 14 mm long. It is closely related to Cicindela goryi which was treated as a subspecies.
The larval stages build angular turrets.[2]
