An extremely diverse and wide-ranging genus in desperate need of thorough taxonomic revision ( Schwarz & Konopik 2014; Vermeersch 2020). Seven species have been recorded from Australian territories, of which four are known to definitely occur: H. majuscula ( Tindale, 1923) (Queensland) , H. patellifera ( Audinet-Serville, 1838) ( Christmas Island), H. pustulifera ( Wood-Mason, 1878) (Queensland) , and H. werneri ( Giglio-Tos, 1912) (Western Australia, Northern Territory, and Queensland). In addition, at least one further undescribed or previously unrecorded species is known from Cape York Peninsula and possibly northern Western Australia (E. Beaver pers. comm., M. Connors unpublished data).
