This Brazilian species was not studied in this work. In its original description, H. affinis is considered close to H. omercooperi , being distinguished mostly by having shorter head, longer postocular setae and reduced am setae, besides few other minute differences ( Bagnall 1924 ). Mound & Marullo (1996) distinguished these two species by the occurrence of male pore plates, which are present on sternites VI–VIII in H. affinis but only in sternite VIII in H. omercooperi .
