We were not able to detect any generic differences in the following 
species from the South American Hypercallia. It must be one more of the 
“stragglers”, known in this genus. Our present knowledge of its remarkable 
distribution is as follows: South America: 85 species, South and Central 
America together: 3, Central America: 8, Mexico: 2, Haiti: 1, Africa: 1, 
Europe, Asia Minor and Mongolia: 1, China: 1, Sikkim and Assam: 3, 
New Guinea: l!
