Introduction
This small family occurs in Australia, New Guinea and the Neotropical Region, including Chile, Peru, Argentina, and Mexico. Three species of Monomachus are described from Australia, from the moist regions of the east and south-west (Naumann 1985, 1991). The adults are active in the cooler months, and the females of one Australian species are known to oviposit in the eggs of Boreoides spp. (Diptera: Stratiomyidae).
