U. sphyrurus is limited to a small region on Australia's eastern coast and U. milii inhabits the southern part of the continent. U. sphyrurus lives in a rather humid region whereas U. milii prefers arid and partially rock habitats. Both species is known to bury its soft-shelled eggs in moist substrates.
