Hapatesus hirtus Candèze, 1863

Hapatesus hirtus Candèze, 1863: 188 .

Hapatesus histus: Schenkling, 1927: 408 [unavailable name, incorrect subsequent spelling not in prevailing usage; ICZN 1999, Art. 33.3].

Type depository. Lectotype, female ( RBINS).

Type locality. Australia: Victoria .

Distribution. Australia (New South Wales, Northern Territory, Queensland, South Australia, Victoria, Western Australia). For a dubious record from Tasmania see Neboiss (1957: 507).
