Identification. This species was identified from keys, descriptions, and illustrations found in the publications by Denning & Blickle (1979), Johanson (2002, 2003), Johanson & Malm (2006), and Johanson & Holzenthal (2010). This species, based on the boomerang-shaped inferior appendages, bears a slight resemblance to H. vergelana Ross 1956 . It differs from this and other species by the ventrad-directed tergum X and the overall shape of the inferior appendages in lateral and dorsal views, each with the distal portion <1.5X as broad as its distal portion in lateral view.
