Its single species, Lobobasis niveimaculata, is found from the Indian state of Sikkim, Bhutan and Sundaland to Queensland, the Solomon Islands and New Guinea.[1] The habitat consists of lower montane forests, upper montane forests and various types of lowland forests. Both the genus and species were first described by George Hampson in 1896.
