The type and specimens labelled cotypes of this subspecies are preserved in the BMNH but no illustrations of it have previously been published.

Notes: Mucro (Fig. 160) is relatively longer and more tapering than in H. purpurascens s.str: it tapers apically to a point without the slightly recurved apex characteristic of H. purpurascens s.str; base of claw finely granulate; the unguiculus of the fore feet (Fig. 158) has the lamella considerably reduced as compared with the other feet (Fig. 159); the fore feet have two tenent hairs, the other feet three each, all in line across the tibiotarsus; rami of tenaculum with three barbs; the four segments of the antennae related as 20:23:27:45; SO Ant III normal with two sense clubs, two sense rods and three guard setae; Ant IV with apical sensory papilla, and 5-7 subapical stout curved sense rods; PAO with 3-4 peripheral lobes (Figs. 161-162): length of type specimen 2 mm.
