Introduction

[After Edwards 1996: 310]
The world fauna was revised by Hampson (1912) and the Indoaustralian fauna reviewed by Gaede (1937b) in Seitz's Macrolepidoptera of the World. The Australian species were revised by Turner (1920b). Holloway (1985) reviewed the fauna of Borneo with which Australia has some genera and species in common.

Australia has 19 described species and most occur in tropical environments. All the genera occur widely overseas except for Pataeta Walker which is found in Australia and New Guinea. Penicillaria jocosatrix Guenée is a pest of mango and Chlumetia euthysticha Turner has also been found on mango.
