Twenty different species of Artace have been described over the years. However, many  of them look nearly identical. It remains to be seen how many of these twenty will turn out to be valid species and not just synonyms. The Artace are closely related to Tolype. These exclusively American genera, occur in both North and South America.

Rearing Artace is as easy as for Tolype species. The members which fly in warmer areas tend to brood continuously in captivity. They are smaller species, but fun to rear, without any complications.
