Genus Acalles

Data on Genus Acalles (tribe Cryptorhynchini, subtribe Tylodina)

Wikipedia states that there are 576 named species of Acalles worldwide, and that it is a North America genus.

iNaturalist has 45 Observations for only 5 of those species worldwide, with 4 or 5 Observations of a single species occurring in North America (namely the US). I have found made 3 of those Observations at a site in Pennsylvania, attracted to the wall at night by outside lights. A 4th Observation also occurs in Pennsylvania, and the 5th Observation is of an undetermined species, tentatively ID'd as Acalles. The other four iNat species were all observed in Europe.
