This genus includes nine valid species. Seven species have been described from North America, mainly from the USA ( Wouts & Sher 1971; Wouts 1973b; Robbins 1978, 1986; Bernard 1981; Baldwin et al. 1989; Subbotin et al. 2017). Among these, A. crassicrustata has also been recorded from the Far East of Russia ( Kazachenko 1990, Subbotin et al. 2011). Two species are only known from the South American countries of Peru, Chile and Brazil ( Golden et al. 1983, de Souza & Huang 1994). Several unnamed species have been recovered from the USA and Brazil (Othman et al. 1986, Huang & Cares 1995, Silva et al. 2008, Subbotin et al. 2017). Hosts are different eudicots and Poaceae ( Sturhan 2018) .
