The species have been recorded from the following zoogeographical 
regions: 97 from the Nearctic Region, 16 from the Caribbean Region, 116 
from the Neotropical Region, 97 from the Palearctic Region, 139 from the 
Ethiopian Region, 35 from the Oriental Region, 52 from the Malaysian 
Region, 30 from the Austromalayan Region, 146 from the Australian 
Region, 20 from the Maorian Region, 2 from the Oceanic Region, 9 from 
unknown localities, and 19 from two or more regions. 
The known geographic distribution of each species is indicated by super¬ 
script figures at the end of the lines, which correspond to geographic regions 
designated by the same superscript figures. In general, the distribution is as 
given by the author of the reference, using the country as the smallest unit 
except in the larger countries where states and provinces are used as the 
smallest units. In the larger island groups the individual islands are indi¬ 
cated wherever possible in view of the importance of island endemism.
