GEOGRAPHY OF THE GENERA.

kong to northern China, where, dipping to the Phi¬ 
lippines, it next occurs in Australia. In the New 
World it is found on its western side at Chili, and tra¬ 
verses that continent to Paraguay and Para, and has 
been sent from the West India Islands of Cuba, St. 
Domingo, and Guadaloupe. From Mexico, where we 
next find it, it passes to Indiana, and occurs throughout 
the United States, and thus completes its progress 
round the world. About one hundred and thirty are 
known. 
The genus Saropoda is closely allied to Anthophora, 
as closely as Heriades is to Chelostoma, and is very 
limited in numbers, ten only being known, and but one 
of which is native with us. The genus occurs through¬ 
out France and Germany, and has been sent from 
Russia, Egypt, South Africa, and Australia, thus having 
a very wide range notwithstanding the paucity of its 
species. 
The very pretty genus Ceratina, although numbering 
but few species,—fewer than thirty,—and although not 
found in Australasia, is widely scattered throughout the 
Old and the New Worlds. Our own species inhabits as 
far north as Russia. Other species occur throughout 
France, and in the south of Europe, and show them¬ 
selves in the Morea, and in Albania. North, South, and 
Western Africa possess the genus, it being found in Al¬ 
geria and at the Cape of Good Hope, and in the inter¬ 
vening district of Senegal. It has been brought from 
Ceylon and Bengal, and also from the north of India. 
It reaches China by way of Java and Hongkong: and 
in the New World has been found in the Brazils and 
Cayenne, in the Southern, and throughout the United 
States in the Northern continent.
