The genus is distributed in the Palaearctic, Nearctic, and Oriental regions. Number of species: World — 42; Palaearctic — 37. Two new species have been recently described from South Korea [ Wei et al., 2017]. Rosa multiflora Thunb. ( Rosaceae ) was recorded as host plant for S. nipponica Takeuchi, 1939 [ Hideho et al., 2021] and Amelanchier Medik. ( Rosaceae ) for S. sericea (Norton, 1867) [ Eiseman, Smith, 2020]. S. brevinerva Wei, 2010 and S. nigrometathoracina Wei, 2010 have been reported as new taxa [ Wu et al., 2010] but their descriptions have not been published to date. These species should be treated as nomina nuda.
