We revise the taxonomically problematic Palearctic Cicindela campestris species complex, a group of green tiger beetle species, using an integrative approach combining morphology, morphometry and biogeography. In this first part, an identification key to all subgroups of these green tiger beetles (Cicindela herbacea-subgroup, Cicindela javetii-subgroup, Cicindela desertorum-subgroup, Cicindela campestris-subgroup, Cicindela turkestanica-subgroup and Cicindela asiatica-subgroup) based on large series taken from private and museum collections as well as on literature sources is provided and diagnostic characters are illustrated by detailed photographs. The Cicindela herbacea- and Cicindela javetii-subgroups are revised and illustrated and identification keys as well as distribution maps for both are given. Four new synonyms are established: Cicindela herbacea herbacea Klug, 1832 = Cicindela herbacea aleppensis Deuve, 2012, syn. n.; Cicindela herbacea turkestanicoides W. Horn, 1938 = Cicindela herbacea perreaui Deuve, 1987, syn. n. = Cicindela herbacea colasi Deuve, 2011, syn. n.; Cicindela javetii javetii Chaudoir, 1861 = Cicindela thughurica Franzen, 2007, syn. n.
我们采用综合方法，结合形态学、形态测量学和生物地理学，修订了具有分类学问题的 Palearctic Cicindela campestris 种复合体，这是一组绿色虎甲虫物种。在这第一部分中，我们提供了基于来自私人和博物馆收藏以及文献来源的大量系列的这些绿色虎甲虫（Cicindela herbacea 亚组、Cicindela javetii 亚组、Cicindela desertorum 亚组、Cicindela campestris 亚组、Cicindela turkestanica 亚组和 Cicindela asiatica 亚组）的所有亚组的识别关键，以及通过详细照片说明的诊断特征。修订并图示了 Cicindela herbacea 和 Cicindela javetii 亚组，并给出了这两个亚组的识别关键和分布地图。建立了四个新的同义词：Cicindela herbacea herbacea Klug, 1832 = Cicindela herbacea aleppensis Deuve, 2012，syn. n.；Cicindela herbacea turkestanicoides W. Horn, 1938 = Cicindela herbacea perreaui Deuve, 1987，syn. n. = Cicindela herbacea colasi Deuve, 2011，syn. n.；Cicindela javetii javetii Chaudoir, 1861 = Cicindela thughurica Franzen, 2007，syn. n.。
