A family of about 34 species in three genera, Aphelia, Centrolepis and Gaimardia; two genera are represented in New Zealand: Centrolepis (4 indigenous and 1 introduced species) and Gaimardia (1 indigenous species). Generally they inhabit infertile and poorly drained soils - in New Zealand they are commonly found in bogs, wet heathland or along the edge of tarns and lakes.
The majority of species occur in Australia (30 species). Aphelia has six species endemic to Australia. In Centrolepis, 21 species are recorded from Australia of which some of 4 species also extend to New Zealand, Malesia, South East Asia and Hainan (China). Outside of Australia endemic species of Centrolepis occur in New Zealand (2) and Malesia (1). In Gaimardia, three species occur in Tasmania and one of those, G. setacea, is also found in New Zealand and New Guinea. A fourth species, G. australis, is endemic to southern South America (Tierra del Fuego and Falkland Islands).
