GEOGRAPHY OF THE GENERA. 71 



Long to northern China, where, dipping to the Phi- 

 lippines, it next occurs in Australia. In the New 

 World it is found on its western side at Chili, and tra- 

 verses that continent to Paraguay and Para, and has 

 been sent from the West India Islands of Cuba, St. 

 Domingo, and Guadaloupe. From Mexico, where we 

 next find it, it passes to Indiana, and occurs throughout 

 the United States, and thus completes its progress 

 round the world. About one hundred and thirty are 

 known. 



The genus SAROPODA is closely allied to Anthopliora, 

 as closely as Heriades is to Chelostoma, and is very 

 limited in numbers, ten only being known, arid but one 

 of which is native with us. The genus occurs through- 

 out France and Germany, and has been sent from 

 Russia, Egypt, South Africa, and Australia, thus having 

 a very wide range notwithstanding the paucity of its 

 species. 



The very pretty genus CERATINA, although numbering 

 but few species, fewer than thirty, and although not 

 found in Australasia, is widely scattered throughout the 

 Old and the New Worlds. Our own species inhabits as 

 far north as Russia. Other species occur throughout 

 France, and in the south of Europe, and show them- 

 selves in the Morea, and in Albania. North, South, and 

 Western Africa possess the genus, it being found in Al- 

 geria and at the Cape of Good Hope, and in the inter- 

 vening district of Senegal. It has been brought from 

 Ceylon and Bengal, and also from the north of India. 

 It reaches China by way of Java and Hongkong : and 

 in the New World has been found in the Brazils and 

 Cayenne, in the Southern, and throughout the United 

 States in the Northern continent.
