Relationships of this genus were discussed by Mound (1989) and Mound and Marullo (1996), who also provided notes on the variation in structural details between and within the 17 species that are currently listed worldwide (ThripsWiki 2015). Of these species 12 are known only from the Americas, mainly the Neotropics, one is from Fiji, one from Japan, and three from New Zealand. Detailed descriptions of the three New Zealand species were provided by Mound and Walker (1986), and two of these three are here recorded from Australia together with six new species.
