  Type species:

   Anabunda retortinervis Emeljanov, 2005 by original designation.

Introduction

Anabunda was described by Emeljanov (2005, in Russian) from eastern coastal New South Wales and Queensland. Moir & Fletcher (2006) redescribed the genus and added two new species. All three species are primarily green. The genus has been found only in south-eastern Queensland, down to the central coast of New South Wales. All species appear to be confined to wet humid regions (with rainfall > 1000 mm per annum) although no species has been found in the wet tropics of northern Queensland.
