新热带地区的生物地理区划被提议作为分区域、自治领、省和区的等级分类。这种区划是基于对陆生植物和动物分类群的生物地理分析，力求提供普遍性、客观性和稳定性，以便在描述特定分类群的分布区域或比较不同的生物地理分析时适用。新热带地区目前由三个分区域（安的列斯、巴西和查科安）、两个过渡区（墨西哥和南美洲）、七个自治领（中美洲、太平洋、巴西北部、西南亚马逊、东南亚马逊、查科安和巴拉那）和53个省组成。对于后者的一些，还承认副省和区。提供了完整的同义词和简要的地区描述，以及诊断不同省份的特有分类群。
A biogeographic regionalisation of the Neotropical region is proposed as a hierarchical classification of sub-regions, dominions, provinces and districts. This regionalisation is based on biogeographic analyses of terrestrial plant and animal taxa, and seeks to provide universality, objectivity and stability, such that it can be applied when describing distributional areas of particular taxa or comparing different biogeographic analyses. The Neotropical region is currently comprised of three sub-regions (Antillean, Brazilian and Chacoan), two transition zones (Mexican and South American), seven dominions (Mesoamerican, Pacific, Boreal Brazilian, Southwestern Amazonian, Southeastern Amazonian, Chacoan and Parana) and 53 provinces. For some of the latter, sub-provinces and districts are recognized. Complete synonymies and brief descriptions of the areas are provided, as well as the endemic taxa that diagnose the different provinces.
