All the members of this genus have very dense, spongy scaling; the elytra are usually more or less fasciculate and the pronotum has a number of large, conspicuous discal foveae.
Most of the species thus far described have been recorded from
Australia
, but one has been described from New
Guinea
, one from
Fiji
, one from
Samoa
, and the genotype from
Burma
. I have seen other species, however, that show that the genus also inhabits the
Philippines
and is well represented on the mainland of New
Guinea
.
