Hattena incisa . - Faraji and Cornejo 2006 : 291. Type depository. Australian National Insect Collection, CSIRO, Canberra, Australia. Type locality and habitat. Australia, Northern Territory, Elizabeth River near Palmerston, on flowers of spotted mangrove, Rhizophora stylosa ( Rhizophoraceae ). Remarks. Hattena dalyi (Elsen, 1974) is exceedingly similar to Hattena incisa . The position of st2 appears to be the only important difference between these species; these are on the sternal shield margin in H. dalyi and on separate and small shield fragments close to lateral margins of the sternal shield in H. incisa . Halliday (1997) may have overlooked the existence of H. dalyi because it was described as a species of Afrocypholaelaps , until Klimov et al. (2016) transferred it to Hattena . In addition, Halliday (1997) did not cite Elsen (1974) . Thus, a thorough morphological comparison between these species is necessary.
