    Ahlfors conjectured in 1964 that the limit set of every finitely generated Kleinian group either has Lebesgue measure \(0\) or is the entire \(S^2\). We prove that this conjecture is true for purely loxodromic Kleinian groups which are algebraic limits of geometrically finite groups. What we directly prove is that if a purely loxodromic Kleinian group \(\Gamma\) is an algebraic limit of geometrically finite groups and the limit set \(\Lambda_\Gamma\) is not the entire \(S^2_\infty\), then \(\Gamma\) is topologically (and geometrically) tame, that is, there is a compact 3-manifold whose interior is homeomorphic to \({\mathbf H}^3/\Gamma\). The proof uses techniques of hyperbolic geometry considerably and is based on works of Maskit, Thurston, Bonahon, Otal, and Canary.
