Introduction

This genus and the sole Australian representative is unknown to the compiler. Elsewhere, the genus is distributed from New Caledonia to Mauritius with one species in North America but whether these are all congeneric requires a taxonomic revision of the genus. In Australia, one species is known from SE Queensland.
