Family CHARONTIDAE
Compiler and date details
31 December 2002 - Mark S. Harvey, Western Australian Museum, Perth, Western Australia 6000, Australia
Introduction
The Charontidae have been delimited recently to only two genera, Charon and Stygophrynus, by Quintero (1986). Both genera are found in South-East Asia, but Charon is now known to occur in northern Australia and on the Australian Indian Ocean territory of Christmas Island (Harvey & West 1998).
