This tribe is based on the single genus Rhotala Walker from Central America. However, a number of specimens of the tribe can be found in Australian collections from Queensland and New South Wales. These are quite large achilids (11-12mm) with the hind tibiae bearing six spines on the outside margin (not counting the apical row) in Australian specimens (5-7 spines overseas). Females have the seventh abdominal sternite elongated medially to form a scoop-shaped process below the genitalia.
