 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 

 unwilling to describe them, on account of their position in a 

 natural system being very doubtful. I have, however, now 

 determined to make them known, with the view of obtaining the 

 opinions of my entomological friends who are interested in 

 classification.
