There are 11 species and all are found in BugGuide's range.
Range
Ranges are based on specimen records from the scientific literature and may not be a complete account of each species' range.
Bennett 1987(1) contains maps that provide a much better graphical interpretation of ranges than the list of locales below.

W. bimucronatus - AL, GA, NC, TN, WV
W. calcaratus - VT, NH, CT, MA, NY, MI, NJ, PA, IN, MD, VA, NC, AL, OK, DC, MN(2) & Canada. Bennett 1987(1) states that any records of W. calcaratus in the western US are likely due to mislabeled specimens.
