description: 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). Reported from Taiwan by Miwa (1928), and from India (Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu and Gujarat) by Singh et al. (2014). All records outside Australia need confirmation.
