There is a Megistocera chilensis Philippi, Verh. Zo'ol. Bot. Ges. 

 1865, p. 617 from Chili, which may perhaps belong to the genus 

 Macromastix. I have not seen it. All the other species are from 

 Australia.

 Ctenophorae (sge above, p. 166) I have accidentally omitted the 

 foUowing genus, which must be placed on p. 168, before Pselliophora:
