The genus was established by Hebard in 1913 and contains approximately 30 described species distributed primarily in the Neotropics. Species have been documented from Brazil, the Caribbean, Central America, and parts of North America. The genus name derives from Greek 'hygro-' (wet, moist) and 'Nemobius', suggesting an association with humid or moist habitats.
