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. It is possible that all Australian records of that species are based on misidentifications')
