 upper surface of the abdomen, with the apex usually much

The Acantliosomatina' are generally distributed, but are concen- 

 trated in the Oriental and Australian Kegions. Their distribution 

 is very uneven, three or four genera only being known from the 

 Ethiopian Region, \ihilst no fewer than nine genera ai'e recorded 

 from the restricted area of Chili.
