This New World genus has 15 recognized species, seven of which are found in North America ( Kolibáč 2013). Barron (1971) reported that the North American species have been collected upon or reared from a variety of trees, primarily conifers, and are all believed to be predators of bark beetles. A single species has been found in Montana.
