In the Americas, the genus can be found from southern Mexico and Cuba south to northern Argentina, while in Africa it is present in Sub-Saharan Africa, including in Madagascar. Twelve species are included, of which nine are African, two are American, and one, Rhytachne subgibbosa , is found on both continents. [4] [5] The genus is closely related to Coelorachis . [6] [7]
