Type species.
Simaetha thoracica Thorell, 1881
Comments.
Simaetha is represented by 19 nominal species distributed in East and Southeast Asia, New Guinea, and Australia ( WSC 2020). All species are endemic except S. knowlesi Żabka, 1994, S. paetula (Keyserling, 1882), S. robustior (Keyserling, 1882), S. tenuidens (Keyserling, 1882), and S. tenuior (Keyserling, 1882), known from both New Guinea and Australia. Although a comprehensive work was done by Żabka (1994), the genus is rather poorly studied, with 11 of its species known only from a single sex - five from females and six from males - and four species lack diagnostic drawings. To date, only the endemic species, S. gongi Peng, Gong & Kim, 2000, has been recorded from China.
