NOTE: (a) Evans (1958a: 199) suspected H. hypudaei to be a senior synonym of Lasioseius fissuratus Berlese; (b) Domrow (1974: 16) considered this species to be a senior synonym of Garmania nesbitti Womersley, but Halliday et al. (1998: 36) considered them to be distinct species; that latter interpretation is accepted in this publication.
