BIOGEOGRAPHY OF BARIDINAE

From examination of the mapping of the biogeographical zones onto the strict consensus tree ( Fig. 128 ), no specific distribution or dispersal patterns are visible. Approximately 75% of the known baridine genera are found in the Neotropics. As relatively few Old World taxa were included in this study, it is difficult to interpret any biogeographical patterns. In order to assess biogeographical patterns within Baridinae definitively, denser sampling is needed of Old World taxa.
