These species are found in the eastern and western Central and South America in brackish and freshwater habitats.[1] This genus is a strongly supported clade of this family.[1][2] It consists of a natural group in which the monophyly is well-defined by morphological and molecular evidence and the genus probably includes several unrecognized species from both American coasts.[2][3]
