Taxonomy
In 1822, French entomologist Pierre François Marie Auguste Dejean first described this beetle as C. riparia.{{Cite journal |last=Texier |first=Éric |date=September 2005 |title=Atlas des Cicindeles de la Loire-Atlantique et de la Vendee: Biohistoire et Conservation |url=https://reserve-naturelle-belle-henriette.fr/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/atlas-cicindeles-aer18.pdf |journal=Atlas entomologique régional (Nantes) |issue=18 |pages=24}} However, upon discovering the name had been previously attributed to a ground beetle, Elaphrus riparius, Dejean renamed the species C. transversalis, although he noted it may actually be a "variety" of C. hybrida.{{Cite book |last=Latreille |first=P.
