ptera from South Africa, Madagascar, Mauritius, and the 
Seychelle Islands. By CHARLES O. WATERHOUSE. 
Many of the new genera described in this paper have been in 
the British-Museum collection for some years; but I have 
hitherto been unable to obtain names for them—and have been

opinions of my entomological friends who are interested in 
classification.
