Description of female holotype Length: Habitus 430 µm; sum of all somites 490 µm; cephalothorax 145 µm; genital double-somite 60 µm. Habitus fusiform (Fig. 7A). Cephalothorax gradually attenuating anteriorly and without a light brown pigment spot near base of antennule but furnished with spinules on anterior distal edge. Rostrum broadly rounded, partially fused at base with cephalothorax and furnished with two small sensilla subapically. Labrum terminating in a spinous projection (Fig. 7B). Genital double-somite subdivided ventrally by a short transverse chitinous stripe (Fig. 9A). Penultimate somite with rounded pseudoperculum (Fig. 9B). Caudal ramus (Fig. 9A, B). Slightly longer than broad. Principal setation and general form as in H. gothiceps. Somitic ornamentation (Fig. 9A, B). Body somites, apart from penultimate, sparsely furnished with sensilla and pores. Posterior margin of cephalothorax, first and second free thoracic somites unadorned.
