Contents:
1 species, which is not endemic.
Endemism: 0% 100%
Remarks:
Kluge (1993a) regarded Calabaria as a synonym of the New World genus
Charina, but Vidal & David (2004) showed that Calabaria is genetically distant from the American species of the genus
Charina and consequently revalidated the genus Calabaria. Furthermore, they placed it in a separate family, Calabariidae Vidal & David 2004 (this family name was already proposed by Dowling & Jenner 1988). Some other authors have also recognized Calabariidae as a separate family (e.g., Wiens, Hutter, Mulcahy, Noonan, Townsend, Sites & Reeder 2012; Pyron, Reynolds & Burbrink 2014).
Distribution:
As for the single species.
