Distribution Species belonging to this genus are present in most of Europe, in the eastern Palearctic realm, in the Near East and in North Africa. Taxonomy The genus is in need of revision to clarify the position of many subspecies that are currently listed. Most of these subspecies were designated by Hennig, but some have been raised to full species since.Rivosecchi, L. 2000.
