Remarks. The genus contains 12 species, four in Central America ( Kensley and Kaufman, 1978; Brusca and Wallerstein, 1979; Kensley, 1987), five in the north-western Pacific ( Richardson, 1912; Kussakin, 1982; Kwon and Kim, 1992), one in South Africa ( Barnard, 1925), and two in southern Australia ( Poore and Lew Ton, 1990). Poore and Lew Ton (1990) diagnosed the genus and discussed its synonymy. Cleantis annadalei Tattersall, 1921 , previously included in this genus, has been removed to its own genus, Chongxidotea Liu, Poore and Lu, 2010 .
