Distribution. Sunda Islands ( Giglio-Tos 1915a, Werner 1933, Beier 1934, Ehrmann 2002, Helmkampf et al. 2007).

Bornean records. Sarawak: Kuching ( Giglio-Tos 1915a), Lanjak Entimau (1 m, CSUB); Sabah: Danum Valley ( Helmkampf et al. 2007).

Remarks. The distributional record cited as “Sunda Islands” traces back to Beier (1934); however, no specimens outside Borneo are known. This genus might be endemic to the island.
