Table 1. Geographical distribution of Palearctic alticine genera. Figures represent rough estimates of species numbers in each geographical region. The term "present" is substituted when species numbers can not be estimated from available literature but the genus is definitely known to occur there. A "?" indicates that presence of the genus is dubious.
