African genera will probably be found to extend further than the 

 South African limit, and this mainly in the eastern side. 



At present the CarabidcB found in South Africa number 899, 

 included in 166 genera, and of these 31 genera and 341 species are 

 described for the first time. 



The genera known to occur in South Africa only are : — ■

The following table is the result of my record of localities and 

 identification of the genera and species. It illustrates, as far as we 

 yet know, the division between the eastern and western parts of the 

 South African fauna, and shows the number of South African genera 

 and species as well as their distribution, and also that of the genera 

 represented elsewhere than in South Africa. The habitat of such 

 genera will be found embodied in the text.
