I know of more than four: Seleucid (Turkey, Iraq, Iran), Ptolemeic (Egypt & Palestine), Antiginoid (Greece), Bactria (Afghanistan), Maurya (India/Pakistan), Parthians also appeared in northern Turkey/Georgia but they apparently moved in and established their kingdom. Addition: The Hellenistic Kingdoms (a modern terminology) were originally split up between Cassander (Macedonia), Egypt (Ptolemy), Asia Minor (Lysimachos) and the east (Seleucis). A geographical perspective is given in the map in: http://www.Google.com.au/search?hl=en&q=hellenistic+kingdoms&meta= However these early divisions changed shape and size as Alexander's self-acclaimed heirs (diadochi) fought amongst each other, and particularly in the east, where the territories beyond Mesopotamia quickly returned to native rule.

Why were alexanders kingdoms called Hellenistic?
Hellenism/Hellenic was their word for Greek. The kingdoms which arose from Alexander's empire after his death were called Hellenistic as they were based on Greek civilisation. However this was superficial as most of the peoples in the ex-Persian territories retained their old ways - only the upper classes adopted Greek culture. So the word Hellenistic is used instead of Hellenic to indicate the partial culture 'like Hellenic'.

Why did Alexander the Great's empire fall apart after his death?
He had no clear heir. His brother was mentally unstable as a result of a poisoning attempt, and his son was an infant. Both were eventually assassinated. This left his generals who siezed whatever parts of the empire they could, and fought each other over to win territory. This gave rise to what we cal today the Hellenistic kingdoms, of which there were several. They eventually stabilised as Macedonia, Egypt, Syria-Mesopotamia, and Pergamon.
