This refers to Catholic dioceses in the world, of all (Latin or Eastern) Churches, as of 2 February 2017.
Additional types, exclusively for the Eastern Churches, Anglican and extraordinary form
These (arch)dioceses are 'exempt' from belonging to any ecclesiastical province, hence only the Vatican can exert the authority and coordinating functions normally falling to the Metropolitan Archbishop. We group them here geographically. Nevertheless, most belong to an episcopal conference, in which case the more relevant mention is in its geographical region, as exempt dioceses as such don't have specific ties with each other
Military Ordinariates are in pastoral charge of the troops of a state, but may be vested in a Metropolitan Archbishop, typically in the national capital
Also generally exempt are the Apostolic prefectures and Apostolic vicariates, which tend to be temporary missionary dioceses, expected to become part of an ecclesiastical province when promoted to regular (arch- or suffragan) bishopric.
The Personal Ordinariates for former Anglicans (who turned away from Canterbury's primacy to Rome's) are allowed to use the Ordinariate Use, which is counted as a variant of the Roman Rite (unlike the Eastern churches' four distinct rites)
Eastern Ordinariates are in pastoral charge of all Eastern Churches, of only those of Byzantine Rite or even just of the Armenian Rite, in one or more states of various Catholic churches without any proper diocese there, but are usually vested in a Roman Catholic Metropolitan Archbishop, often in the capital;
Disregarded are many (archi)episcopal prelates in the Roman Curia, as their dicasteries don't constitute dioceses, although many posts there require by law or custom a(n arch)bishop (usually titular), just as the Vatican's diplomatic posts in nearly every national capital
the personal prelature (a unique status) of Opus Dei, with a cathedral see (Santa Maria della Pace ai Parioli) in Rome, ranking as bishopric

These retain many Orthodox traditions, even in the hierarchic terminology, such as calling bishoprics Eparchies and archbishoprics Archeparchies.
In many respects they fall outside the competences of the regular Roman Curia, where they are mainly administered by a special Congregation for the Oriental Churches
Their respective diocesan structures overlap with and are partially parallel to each other, to the Latin Catholic church and to Orthodox churches, often 'sharing' a see. In addition, exempt, 'mixed' ordinariates for the Eastern churches without dioceses of their own are established in a few (European and Latin American) countries, directly subject to the Holy See
We present them grouped per ancient rite, or liturgical tradition
