Species Abacarus hystrix (Nalepa, 1896)

Introduction

Recent molecular and morphological research has shown that the species known as Abacarus hystrix actually represents a complex of several species (Skoracka 2009; Skoracka & Dabert 2010). Literature records of this species, including those from Australia, will therefore need to be reviewed to determine which species they represent.
