Distribution
The genus is can be separated into two groups based on distribution and behavior. Both groups are known from the Afrotropics, with the west African group nesting in rotten parts of standing trees, often high above the ground. The other group, consisting of species from east Africa, Madagascar and one from South Africa, nests in cavities of plants near the ground.[3]
