JAS. J. SIMPSON — ENTOMOLOGICAL 



It must not be supposed that this list by any means exhausts the species to be 

 found in Southern Nigeria ; in fact several forms at present await description 

 and undoubtedly many more will be found, especially perhaps in the north and 

 east of the Eastern Province. Further, it must be noted that much has yet to 

 be learnt as regards the distribution of all the species here recorded ; in fact, 

 in most cases the records are so scanty that it would be inadvisable to enter into 

 any discussion as to their general distribution. It is to be hoped, therefore, 

 that this list may be taken only as a guide as to what has been accomplished and 

 that the narrative may help to show how inadequate our information is, and so 

 stimulate others to collect even the most common species from every available 

 locality, in order that eventually we may be able to map out the distribution 

 of each.
