Type genus:  LicinusLatreille, 1802.  BadistidaeGistel, 1856: 357. Type genus:  BadistesAgassiz, 1846 (unjustified emendation of  BadisterClairville, 1806, not in prevailing usage) (=  BadisterClairville, 1806).  Diversity. Worldwide, with about 100 species in the Nearctic (14 species of  Badister), Neotropical (five species, one of them belonging to the Chilean genus  EutogeneiusSolier), Australian (11 species), Oriental (four species), Palaearctic (68 species), and Afrotropical (three species of  Badister) Regions. Approximately 82% of the species are found in the Northern Hemisphere.  Faunistic Note. Several specimens of  Licinus silphoides(Rossi) were taken alive in Massachusetts as noted by LeConte (1873b: 324). It is likely that a population persisted for a while but since no specimen has been caught in North America in the xx Century, the species is certainly not established on this continent.
