At least two Hibolithes species, H. conradi and H. semisulcatus, represented in Jurassic (Oxfordian and Tithonian) and possibly Early Cretaceous (Late Berriasian) zones of Hungary.[5]
H. shimanskyi, H. orlovi and H. ivanovi from Upper Callovian-Lower Oxfordian of Bryansk Oblast and Saratov Oblast of European Russia, were described in 1976 by Gustomesov. In 2006, Ippolitov assigned H. shimanskyi as a synonym to H. girardoti due to sexual dimorphism within this species. Ippolitov also assigned H. orlovi and H. ivanovi as synonyms to H. sangensis for the same reason.[6]
