TYPE LOCALITY AND TYPE REPOSITORY . India , Kerala , Meenmutty , New Amaranbalan ; NZSI , COMMENTS . I was unable to examine this species and had to include it in the key solely on the data published by Tikader & Bastawade (1983: 528–533). I believe it is related to H. thorellii Pocock, 1892 , from which it differs (apart from the characters given in the key) in having the dorsal surface of the chela reticulated. DISTRIBUTION .
