 America; it has much likeness to a beetle. Temnopteryx inhabits 

 Australasia, South America towards the Atlantic and Central America. 

 Perisphaeria inhabits China, Hindustan, Australasia and South America 

 towards the Atlantic ; some of the species have a remarkable resemblance 

 to the genus Glomeris in the Myriapoda. Blepharodera and Derocalymna 

 inhabit also Australasia. Pbyllopalpus inhabits Hindostan, South America 

 towards the Atlantic, Central America and North America; perhaps this 

 genus should be made exclusively American by the removal of the African 

 and Asiatic species from it. Platvdactylus inhabits China, Hindostan, 

 Australasia, South America towards the Atlantic and Central America. 

 Zaora inhabits Australia and Central America; perhaps this genus 

 should be transferred to the Ceuihophilidae. Laurepa inhabits Austral-

 Hindostan and Australasia. Euscyrtus inhabits Hindostan. Anostos- 

 toma inhabits Australia, where it is of very great size. Gryllacris inhabits 

 China, Hindustan, Australasia, Australia, South America towards 

 the Atlantic and Central America; this is especially an Asiatic genus,

 Australia, South America towards the Atlantic, Central America and North 

 America. Monachidium inhabits South America towards the Atlantic; 

 this genus and Dericorys form a group, which is distinguished by the high 

 keel of the thorax. Catanlops iuhabits China. Oxya inhabits China, 

 Hindostan, Australasia, South America towards the Atlantic, Central 

 America and North America. Platacanthus inhabits Australia. Trachypetra 

 may be considered as a synonym of Balracholeltix, and inhabits 

 Hindostan.
