Record. * Viti Levu, Fiji, Melanesia.

Remarks. Sørensen (1886) reported the collecting locality as "Polynesia, on 'Viti' island". He was referring to Viti Levu, the largest island of the Fiji and a constituent of Melanesia, not Polynesia. The holotype of Z. robusta is a 4.5 mm long male that bears the sexually dimorphic fourth walking leg characteristic of the genus ("Differentia sexualis armatura pedum IV forsitan demonstratur," p. 13).
