ZOOGEOGRAPHIC DISCUSSION At present the list of South African Philosciidae—excluding Chaetophi-loscia elongata and Philoscia muscorum for the above-mentioned reasons—is asfollows: Aphiloscia vilis (Budde-Lund, 1885) Mozambique, Zimbabwe, Trans- vaal, Natal, Zululand, Cape Pro-vince, ?Ovamboland Benthanops fulva Barnard, 1932 Cape Province REVISION OF THE FAMILY PHILOSCIIDAE 43. 44 ANNALS OF THE SOUTH AFRICAN MUSEUM Afrophiloscia ocellata Barnard, 1960)Nahia hirsuta (Budde-Lund, 1906) Nahia louwi sp. no v.

Because of theinsufficient material the records of Natalscia mina and A^. cingulata fromTranskei need confirmation. Thus far, only Aphilosc
