from Wikipedia (couldn't find the info in the Catholic Encyclopedia)

Represented in the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops are 195 archdioceses and dioceses (in the U.S. and the Territory of the Virgin Islands):

  • 145 Latin Catholic dioceses
  • 33 Latin Catholic archdioceses, and 32 Latin Catholic ecclesiastical provinces (the Roman Catholic Archdiocese for the Military Services USA is not a metropolitan archdiocese and has no suffragan diocese)
  • 15 Eastern Catholic dioceses
  • 2 Eastern Catholic archdioceses, and 2 Eastern Catholic metropoliae

There are also several dioceses in the nation's other four overseas territories. In the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the bishops in the six dioceses (one metropolitan archdiocese and five suffragan dioceses) form their own episcopal conference, the Conferencia Episcopal Puertorriqueña. The bishops in U.S. insular areas in the Pacific Ocean - the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, the Territory of American Samoa, and the Territory of Guam - are members of the Episcopal Conference of the Pacific.
