Distribution: mainly in tropical America, some North America and Old World, 2 Europe. Pridgeon et al. (2005) recognize some split genera like Crepidium and Dienia. Several Asian species still listed here probably need transfer in Crepidium or Dienia. Other split genera by Szlachetko et al. have not been accepted.
