Its greatest levels of diversity are in New Guinea and northeastern Australia. Snow et al. confirmed in 2008 that the genus is polyphyletic, i.e. it includes taxa that do not have a common predecessor, and they recommended more detailed DNA studies to determine if and how it should be split into two or more smaller monophyletic genera.

Bismarck Archipelago
The Bismarck Archipelago (, ) is a group of islands off the northeastern coast of New Guinea in the western Pacific Ocean and is part of the Islands Region of Papua New Guinea. Its area is about . History The first inhabitants of the archipelago arrived around 30,000–40,000 years ago.

Later arrivals included the Lapita people, the direct ancestors of the Austronesian peoples of Polynesia, eastern Micronesia, and Island Melanesia. The first European to visit these islands was Dutch explorer Willem Schouten in 1616.

The area was named in honour of the Chancellor Otto von Bismarck. On 13 March 1888, a volcano erupted on Ritter Island causing a megatsunami. Almost the entire volcano fell int ...
