There are 33 species listed in this genus (
Mound, 2011
), almost all from tropical Asia, and an illustrated key to these was provided by
Bhatti (2000)
. Four species are listed from
Australia
(Mound, 2008), but one of these is here deleted from the Australian list. Moreover, a few specimens taken in various parts of northern
Australia
are available in ANIC representing further unidentified species.
