Stephanidae: World

Stephanidae of the World

The distribution of the Stephanidae has not yet been comparatively discussed, although some degree of endemism for the different genera does seem to occur. Only the genus Megischus has a widespread distribution, while all other genera seem to be more or less restricted to certain parts of the world (e.g. Hemistephanus in South America, Parastephanellus in the Indo-Australian region, etc.)
