About forty species have been described of this genus, which is more widely distri- 

 buted than Galerita, being found in the warmer temperate as well as the tropical 

 regions of both hemispheres ; but the specific forms are more numerous and varied in 

 the Old World than in the New. Two species are found in Europe.
