  Type data:

   Holotype BMNH ♀ (Distant coll.: 1911-383), Queensland.

Introduction

This species was described from a single female known only to be from Queensland with no further data. It was presumably named after Dr. R. Hamlyn Harris, Director of the Queensland Museum, who forwarded the specimen to Distant. The identity of the species needs to be clarified through a species level revision of the genus.
