It is distributed from southern China and Southeast Asia to Papua New Guinea, with a single species from the Afrotropical realm. It is placed in the subfamily Medeterinae, though molecular phylogenetic analyses suggest it may not belong in that subfamily. Unlike most members of Medeterinae, which are arboreal, ''Paramedetera'' is soil-dwelling and lives near aquatic habitats.
