Tabulated below are the number of species of Asili- 

 dae by subfamily according to standard world regions. 

 I have largely followed Darlington (1957) in the selec- 

 tion of the boundaries of world regions. The heavy 

 preponderance of species in the Neotropical region will 

 be noted, as well as the large total for the western 

 hemisphere, which totals about 1874 species.

The tabulation below shows the component genera 

 from the series of regional pockets, or concentrations 

 of unique genera of limited range, which have been 

 discussed above. It is not implied that the areas men- 

 tioned constitute absolute limits of the genera included, 

 but rather that they represent approximately such 

 regions and represent areas where such genera are 

 especially characteristic.
