northern Queensland and the Proserpine/Mackay area in tropical north-central Queensland;
the northern Sunshine Coast area and the wider Brisbane area (northern Brisbane district to
Gibraltar Ranges) in subtropical southern Queensland and northern New South Wales; and
the western Tasmanian ranges (cool-temperate). (It should be mentioned that many of the
collections from Brisbane date back to the late 19 th century.) Smaller distribution centers are
found in the Iron Ranges National Park (Cape York Peninsula, Queensland), and in New
South Wales the Coffs Harbour/Taree area, the Barrington Tops area and the Sydney area
(mainly Blue Mountains and Royal National Park).
Fig. 3. Combined Australian distribution map of all treated species. [The gray tones of the circles
indicate the number of species found in the region according to the legend. Insert upper right:
Norfolk Island, insert lower left: southwest Western Australia (the latter also applies for the
distribution maps used in the species descriptions)].
For Australia, the 103 known taxa can be grouped in seven different distributional types
(table 2): a) strictly tropical (the largest group with 34 species), b) tropical to subtropical (28
species), c) tropical to warm-temperate (11 species), d) tropical to cool-temperate (1 species),
e) strictly subtropical (8 species), f) subtropical to cool-temperate (12 species) and g) strictly
cool-temperate (9 species).
