Comparative examination of female specimens.
The two collected females have been compared with the
holotype
(female) of
H. spinosus
Andersen, 1982
. Some selected measurements are given in the following table.
The
holotype
seems to be only slightly smaller than the female collected in 2008, but it provides a good match with Andersen’s original description (1982). The first description of a male specimen of
H. spinosus
is provided below.
