Approximately 30 spp. currently recognized in the western U.S.A. and Canada, Japan, China, northern Deccan Peninsula, through Thailand to West Malesia: Malay Peninsula, Sumatra, Java, and Bali.
In my opinion it is highly unlikely that more than half of these will be recognized after critical revision.
