Pantropical
From Infogalactic: the planetary knowledge core
In biogeography, a pantropical ("across the tropics") distribution is one which covers tropical regions of all continents. [1] Examples include the plant genera Acacia and Bacopa.[2]
Neotropical is a zoogeographic term that covers a large part of the Americas, roughly from Mexico and the Caribbean, and southwards (including cold regions in southernmost South America).
Palaeotropical refers to geographical occurrence. For a distribution to be palaeotropical a taxon must occur in tropical regions on continents in the Old World.
