Extra Distribution Information

Hasarius adansonii is a cosmopolitan species found around the world in warmer climates.The other three, endemic, Australian species are only known from the type material, which is lost in two cases. It seems doubtful that these species belong in this genus (Richardson and Zabka 2017)
