Hagrides princeps: Jin et al. 2020: 19 .

Diagnosis. H. princeps can be separated from oth- er Hagrides species by the meso- and metatrochanter bearing dense setae along ventral surfaces, the prosternal process with narrowed pointed apex and the pronotum with some smooth shiny area medially. This species is mostly distributed in eastern Australia. Males can also be recognised by having large setal patch (Fig. 9M), and the tegmen with longer basal triangular projection. The female can be diagnosed by the ovipositor with truncate distal gonocoxites apices.

Type. Holotype male deposited in BNHM (BNHM- 010799836), with the following labels “ Cnemoplites princeps Gahan, ♂, Type | Queensland, 81.14”.
