'''''Cicindela aurofasciata''''', sometimes called the '''gold cross'''<ref>{{cite book|author=Wood, JG|year=1883|title=Insects abroad|publisher=[[Longmans, Green & Co.]]|url=https://archive.org/stream/insectsabroadbei00wooduoft#page/15/mode/1up|page=15}}</ref>, 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&nbsp;mm long. It is closely related to ''[[Cicindela goryi]]'' which was treated as a subspecies.<br />
<br />
The larval stages build angular turrets.<ref>Shivashankar, T., Kumar, A.R.V., Veeresh, G.K., Pearson, D.L. 1988 Angular turret-building behavior in a larval tiger beetle species from South India (Coleoptera: Cicindelidae). Coleopterists Bulletin 42 (1), pp. 63-68</ref><br />
