[edit] Distribution
This family is almost exclusively confined to New Zealand and the Australian region, with only Metaltella found in South America from Argentina to Brazil, and Calacadia in Chile.
Metaltella simoni is an invasive species in Florida. It is feared that it could extirpate the native titanoecid species Titanoeca brunnea.
