Species of this genus are found in the warmer parts of both the Old and the New 
World and also in the Antilles. Two species are found in Central America; these 
appear, as also do those of North America, to be confined to the Atlantic side of the 
continent. The genus is recorded from Southern Colombia, but we have not yet 
received it from our country from south of the Polochic valley in Guatemala.
