Introduction
Mound (2001) recorded three further genera for the Australian fauna, and noted that all species appear to be leaf feeding, generally associated with older leaves, rather than new foliage.
An undescribed species is listed by Mound (2009) as 'Asian species possibly native to Australian tropics … (Indonesia)'.
