  As 
  indicated 
  in 
  the 
  foregoing 
  tabulation, 
  representatives 
  of 
  the 
  genus 
  

   Trimorus 
  have 
  been 
  found 
  in 
  all 
  the 
  primary 
  zoogeographical 
  regions. 
  

   Few 
  species 
  have 
  been 
  described 
  from 
  the 
  Neotropical 
  and 
  Oriental 
  

   Regions. 
  This 
  paucity 
  of 
  described 
  species 
  is 
  no 
  indication 
  that 
  the 
  

   genus 
  is 
  poorly 
  represented 
  but 
  rather 
  that 
  little 
  collecting 
  has 
  been 
  

   done. 
  It 
  is 
  probable 
  that 
  many 
  undescribed 
  species 
  occur 
  in 
  these 
  

   regions. 
  

  

  It 
  may 
  be 
  observed 
  that 
  the 
  total 
  for 
  the 
  figures 
  in 
  the 
  right 
  hand 
  

   column 
  is 
  somewhat 
  greater 
  than 
  that 
  for 
  the 
  figures 
  on 
  the 
  left. 
  This 
  

   is 
  so 
  because 
  some 
  species 
  have 
  been 
  recorded 
  from 
  more 
  than 
  one 
  of 
  

   the 
  areas 
  listed. 
  A 
  few 
  species 
  occur 
  in 
  widely 
  separated 
  areas 
  in 
  North 
  

   America. 
  T. 
  brevicarinatus, 
  for 
  instance, 
  is 
  known 
  to 
  occur 
  in
