‘Horvath (1900 Termész. fiizetek. XXIII. 339) has divided this into nine tribes, 
presenting the results in synoptic form; eleven are now recognized. 
The Tessaratominae are very sparsely neogeic, only three species being known 
in the new world, one however forming a monotypic tribe. The subfamily is over- 
poweringly Oriental, five-eighths of the latter being Indomalayan; it is also worthy 
of notice that the Indomalayan and Austromalayan forms together practically equal 
those of the rest of the old world. Three tribes (with eleven species) are precincti- 
vely Madagascan, so that the subfamily as a whole is distinctly insular. Of the 
other tribes, three-fourths of the Oncomerini are Australasian, the Eusthenini and 
Tessaratomini are predominantly Oriental, principally Indomalayan, while the Natali- 
colini are Continental Ethiopian, with the exception of one Australasian.
