It is shown that if ƒ is a Hauptmodul with rational integer coefficients for a group G < PGL2(ℚ)+, of genus zero, containing a with finite index and zz+k precisely when k is an integer, then ƒ is replicable. Examples of such functions are given by the Moonshine functions described by Conway and Norton [CN].
