The Stenopogoninae seems like a very mixed group overall. And there are 33 genera in the family. Many of them are strictly western so I have no where near that many current genera shown here presently. Many are small genera with the exception of the Ospriocerus, Stenopogon and Cyrtopogon. Of those three dominant genera only Ospriocerus bleeds over into Texas at all. Cyrtopogon is mostly a northern and altitude associated group. And only two or three of the many Stenopogon even exist outside of CA and AZ. We do have the impressive Ceraturgus here which has its center of world distribution in the eastern US and the monster Microstylum shown above which sneaks into AR and TX. The smaller genera are the interesting eastern portion of this family. And they are diverse in appearance.
