Indonesia , the
Philippines ,
Papua New Guinea ,
China ,
Myanmar ,
Malaysia ,

The can be distinguished thanks to the
scopulae on tarsi 1 and 4, which were divided. There is also a
stridulating organ present but reduced. They also own thin and elongated
chelicerate strikers, which are pallid in color. Their size is also smaller than most other
tarantulas .
