Miropotes Nixon, 1965

Miropotes Nixon, 1965: 200 ; see Austin (1990) for a revision of the Australian fauna, Fernández-Triana et al. (2014a) for the first description of species outside Australia, and Fernández-Triana et al. (2020) for a checklist of the world fauna.

Type species, by original designation, Miropotes creon Nixon, 1965 .

Comments. The Australian fauna of the genus Miropotes was revised for Australia by Austin (1990), and the genus was originally thought to be endemic to the continent. Fernández-Triana et al. (2014a) described the first species from outside Australia, raising the number of described species to 13 for Australasia, with the genus also known from the Oriental (one species) and Afrotropical regions (one species).
