Remarks
. The most similar species to
H. gracilis
are
H. chilensis
,
H. pterini
and
H. uniplicatus
.
Hemilamprops gracilis
is differentiated from these species by the telson being shorter than the uropod peduncles, with more than three pairs of lateral setae. In comparison, in
H. uniplicatus
the telson is equal to or longer than the uropod peduncles, while in both
H. chilensis
and
H. pterini
there are three or fewer pairs of lateral setae on the telson.
