Remarks.

Hemipenthes is equally diverse in the Nearctic (29 species), Neotropical (26 species) and Palearctic (37 species) regions, with just six species in the Oriental region and one in the Afrotropical region. Four species of this genus were collected in Coahuila. All of these have broad distributions but apparently from poor sampling because records are not continuous, especially in Mexico. Ávalos-Hernández (2009) recently published a revision of Hemipenthes , with a key for Nearctic species.
