Hasarius adansoni: Simon 1871: 330; Żabka 1985: 226; 1997: 53; Prószyński 1991: 504; 2003: 68; Peng et al. 1993: 85; Barrion & LitSinger 1995: 93; Song et al. 1999: 513; Metzner 1999: 152, 272.

There are many descriptions of this species (e.g. Żabka 1985, 1997; Prószyński 1991; Metzner 1999), therefore in this paper it is omitted with reference to those publications. H. adansoni is a cosmpolitan species occurring in warm climates.

H. adansoni occur in various habitats both natural and synantropic.

The natural habitats are:

- grasslands: Galapagos Islands - pampa, 600 m a.s.l. (Galiano & Baert 1990), grasses on the Seychelles, 300 m a.s.l. (WanleSS 1983) and in the China (Żabka 1985),

- forests: Seychelles - mangroves (WanleSS 1983), Krakatau - damp forest (Żabka & Nentwig 2000), Nepal - subtropical deciduous forest, 950-1000 m a.s.l., Bhutan - damp tropical forest, 200-400 m a.s.l., evergreen deciduous forest, 1700-1900 m a.s.l.,

- others: Seychelles - beach (WanleSS 1983), Krakatau - waterside vegetation (Żabka & Nentwig 2000).

The synanthropic are: Galapagos Islands - cultivations (Galiano & Baert 1990), Viet-nam - garden (Żabka 1985).
