Remarks.
Most of the 29 species in this exclusively Nearctic genus are distributed in the southwest of the USA and north of Mexico, although eight species are present in the northwest of the USA ( Lordotus apicula Coquillet, 1887; Lordotus bipartitus Painter, 1940; Lordotus diversus Coquillett, 1891; Lordotus gibbus Loew, 1863; Lordotus miscellus Coquillett, 1887; Lordotus pulchrissimus Williston, 1893; Lordotus striatus Painter, 1940; Lordotus zona Coquillett, 1887). The three species present in Coahuila are also found in California; their distribution probably includes all northern states of Mexico. Hall (1954) and Hall and Evenhuis (1982) present reviews of the genus and keys to the species.
