Neotype: I.40831-018.

Notes. Meristic and morphological data do not separate purported H. procerus from H. whitei (Appendix O), nor do genetics. Four specimens from Moreton Bay (the type locality for H. procerus ) included three haplotypes, each of which was identical to a haplotype from Sydney Harbour (type locality for H. whitei ) (H. Hamilton, in litt. to SL and RP, 13 Feb 2015).
