The Family Lophopidae is far better represented in Indonesia and New Guinea than in Australia which only has three species: the sugarcane pest Lophops saccharacida (Kirkaldy) found in Qld and NT, Kasserota illingworthi Baker found in Qld and Magia subocellata Distant in N.Qld. The genus Kasserota Distant is well represented in New Guinea. 

No lophopid has yet been found in New Zealand which is probably because the family is primarily tropical in distribution.
