Most representatives occur from southern [Florida](/source/Florida) to tropical and subtropical [Central America](/source/Central_America), except for the genera *[Badusa](/source/Badusa)* and *[Bikkia](/source/Bikkia)*, which are found from the [Philippines](/source/Philippines) to the West Pacific, and *[Morierina](/source/Morierina)* and *[Thiollierea](/source/Thiollierea)*, which are native to [New Caledonia](/source/New_Caledonia). The tribe **Catesbaeeae** is now included within Chiococceae.[1]
