Etymology. The specific name is a noun in apposition and refers to the indiginal tribe who lived around the type locality before the conquest of the region by the Portuguese.

Diagnosis. The males resemble those of H. andalgalaensis by the shape of embolus (see Galiano 1976b: figs 43, 44), but differ from all the species of the genus by the presence of a retrolateral apophysis on the cymbium ( Fig. 17F , rca).
