Species Basilobelba retiaria (Warburton, 1912)

Introduction

Grandjean (1959) described Hammation sollertius from Queensland, but added an addendum in which he suggested that Hammation Grandjean, 1959 was a synonym of Basilobelba Balogh, 1958. Grandjean (1961) confirmed this opinion, and added that Hammation sollertius was a synonym of Basilobelba retiarius (Warburton, 1912). Wallwork (1961) described a new subspecies Basilobelba retiarius symmetrica from Ghana. Only the nominotypical subspecies Basilobelba retiarius retiarius occurs in Australia, but Bernini (1988) considered these two subspecies to be synonymous.
