Material examined. 1♁ BRAZIL, Amapá state, Serra do Navio, Represa , ii.1957, A.B.M. Machado leg., ABMM ; 1♁ Laranjal do Jari, Resex Cajari , 28.xi.2017, T.B.

Known distribution. Brazil (states of Amazonas and Amapá), Guyana, French Guiana, Suriname and Venezuela.

Diagnosis and remarks. This species possesses a tubercle or apophysis on the ventral BP portion, a feature that is shared only with H. triangulare and H. pemon . The following character combination distinguishes this species from the remainder of Group A species: BP the shortest portion of the cercus ( Figs. 38c–d View FIGURE 38 ); MP the longest, ML a broad plate, bearing small teeth, roughly squared apex ( Figs. 38c–d View FIGURE 38 ).
