Lonchaeidae have been recorded from most parts of the world except New Zealand and the polar regions. The majority of species are associated with forest habitats although a significant number of species are associated with grasslands such as steppe and savanah. A few species are considered as agricultural or forestry pests infesting tomatoes or figs or feeding on conifer seeds.
