Originally placed with the sac spiders, it was moved to the comb-footed spiders in 1967. Previously considered as a genus with a single species, two new species were identified in tropical Australia in 2017. Myrmecomorphy is found amongst the salticids and Corinnidae families, but it is unusual amongst other theridiids.
