Melbourne : CSIRO Publishing, Australia xii 551 pp. [255] (this species has been long considered a junior synonym of H. ventricosa H. Milne Edwards, and Australian records have been confused under this latter name. D'Udekem d'Acoz (pers. comm.) believes that `many different species (including undescribed ones) have been lumped together with H. australiensis. So far, there is no evidence that the 'true' H. ventricosa has been found elsewhere than in India')
