Comm.: This New World genus includes 37 species and has a wide geographic range extending from Canada to Argentina, including the Antilles (Dowes 1972, Hogue 1973, 1990, Bravo 2005). A taxonomic revision of the genus was performed by Hogue (1973), in which he recognized two subgenera and presented keys for the morphological identification of adults and immatures. Four of the 33 species described from the Neotropics have been found in Colombia.
