Previously part of the Eremaean region, the Nullarbor sub-region has been found by González-Orozco,
Ebach et al. (2014) to have closer affinities with areas in the Euronotian, as opposed to the Southwest region. The
same analysis has also shown that areas to the south, such as Hampton and Esperance are more closely related to the
Southwest region. However, until a biogeographical analysis is undertaken, the relationships between sub-regions are
hypothetical.
