Contents:
8 species, of which 1 (12.5%) is endemic.

Remarks:
Previously included
Aphaniotis ornata
(e.g., Welch, Cooke & Wright 1990), the genus
Diploderma,
and the species now assigned to
Cristidorsa.
The nominal genus Oriotiaris was revalidated by Kästle & Schleich (1998), but synonymized again with Japalura by Mahony (2009).
Nevertheless, it was still considered valid by Kästle, Rai & Schleich (2013), who apparently overlooked the synonymization, since they did not comment on it.
