Genus Lamyctes Meinert, 1868 Hollington & Edgecombe (2004) placed Lamyctes in a well-supported phylogenetic group with Henicops and Paralamyctes. While Lamyctes species are found on all continents except Antarctica and on many oceanic islands, Henicops is limited to Australia, New Zealand and New Caledonia and Paralamyctes is found in Australia, New Zealand, southern South America, India, Madagascar, and South Africa (Hollington & Edgecombe 2004). The worldwide distribution of Lamyctes is mainly, if not entirely, due to two or three Lamyctes species spread by human agency, and most populations probably have thelytokous parthenogenesis—accounting for the ease of distribution (Enghoff 1975; Enghoff et al. 2013; Iorio 2016). There are 42 currently recognized species of Lamyctes (Bonato et al. 2016). Of these, Lamyctes emarginatus Newport is found in continental North America, and L. coeculus Brölemann and L. africanus (Porat) have been reported from Hawaii (hence not included in the key).
