Dugdale redescribed this genus. The type species of this genus is Conchylis plagiatan Walker, 1863, by subsequent designation. All species in this genus, apart from Pyrgotis siderantha which is found in Sri Lanka, are endemic to New Zealand. There are two undescribed species the specimens of which are held at the New Zealand Arthropod Collection.
