While most species occur in Africa, Asia and the Australian region, only two species are found in the New World, D. seminola in the USA and D. spinosa in Colombia. In addition, D. livens occurs both in the USA and Central Europe. The only other species found in Europe is D. dorsata, which has a palearctic distribution.
