Introduction
This genus is Nearctic in distribution and the single species listed here from Christmas Island is incorrectly placed in it. The original description includes a fairly rudimentary illustration of the male genitalia which implies that the paramere has a supplementary process articulated with it. The true generic affinities of the species almost certainly lie in the Indonesian fauna.
Distribution
Other Regions
Christmas Island terrestrial & freshwater
Diagnosis
No diagnosis of the genus is provided since the genus does not validly occur in the Australian region.
