Peradenia is the only genus in the family Peradeniidae. Its 2 living species can be found in the temperate forests of Southeastern Australia and Tasmania. A fossil specimen was found in baltic amber, implying the genus once had a broader distribution. While the hosts of the species are unknown they have been collected in association with Eucalyptus stellulata. Adults are active in either autumn or winter.
Body length is 5-10mm. Distinctly club-shaped legs and metasoma, in addition to large compound eyes. Body and legs are a non-metallic black with fine silver hairs.
