 older authors, and contains all the non- American genera and

 this group are, however, Neotropical ; one is European ; two or 

 three African ; and twenty-six Oriental and Australian. The 

 genera are : — 



Ncmcohius (1 sp.), Europe; Dodona (6 sp.). North India; 

 Zemeros (2 sp.), North India and Malaya ; Ahisara (11 sp.),
