Short description Morphology | Morphometrics

This species of the H. aculeatus complex is distinguished by the presence of uniformly blunt tubercles; tubercles almost always absent dorsal to orbit; both inner and outer sphenotic tubercles are strongly reduced; principal tubercles of disk margin blunt with spinelets generally reduced in degree of development (Ref. 85070).
