The generic name Dipteris instituted by Reinwardt in 1828 is applied to four recent species— Dipteris conjugata (Rein.), D. Wallichii (Hook. and Grev.), D. Lobbiana (Hook.), and D. quinquefurcata (Baker). Dipteris Wailchii occurs in the sub-tropical region of Northern India; the other species are met with in the Malay Peninsula, Java, New Guinea, Borneo, and elsewhere. It has been customary to include Dipteris in the Polypodiaceæ, and to describe the sporangia as having an incomplete vertical annulus.
