MICROLEPIDOPTERA OP NEW GUINEA 
165 
The number of the apodemic genera recorded from the Central Region 
amounts to 112. Of these 43 are either cosmopolitan or have a circum- 
tropical distribution. The evidence of this category is of little value for 
our problem and these 43 genera may be excluded from our analysis as 
well. After this drastic purge 69 apodemic genera are left to work with.
