This monotypic genus was originally described from Guam. Species subsequently referred to Ninus by Distant and Bergroth were shown by Bergroth (Philippine Jour. Sci. 13D: 63, 1918) to belong to Cymoninus Breddin. Bergroth also synonymized stylatus Kirkaldy and singalensis Breddin with insignis and gave the distribution as Ceylon, Fiji, the Philippines, and Guam. I have collected it in the Philippines and also have a specimen from Java.
