Over 30 species of the genus Bireta (Schintlmeister, 2008) are known from the Palearctic and neighbouring regions of Southeast Asia.

Bireta are mostly distributed throughout Southeast Asia, especially China (Kiriakoff, 1962; Kobayashi & Kishida, 2004; Kobayashi, Kishida & Min, 2008; Schintlmeister & Fang, 2001) and Thailand (Schintlmeister, 2007).
