Lyssa patroclus (L.) was recorded in Australia by Turner (1911) but this was overlooked by Altena (1953); who did not examine Australian material. The species in Australia was treated by Altena as L. macleayi (Montrouzier) which he separated from L. patroclus (I.J. However, on pp. 13, 14 he states that he is not certain the two are distinct species)
