Biogeography: Southern hemispheric. Continent: Australasia and Northern America (and Central America). Checklist records: Australia (from dry sclerophyll forests of southern Australia to arid grasslands and ranges of central Australia (W.A., N.T., S.A., N.S.W., A.C.T., Vic. and Tas./ Bass Strait)), Mexico, New Zealand, and United States and Canada (continental).
