Female: a, habitus (left side); b, c , urosome (dorsal, left, respectively); d, e, genital somite (left, right, respectively); f, genital somite with operculum closed (left, tilted clockwise, ventral, respectively).

Nota: Prosome about 2.4 times length of urosome; posterolateral cornerbroadly rounded, overlapping anterior 1/10 length of genital somite.
Dorsally genital somite widest about 1/3 length of somite from anterior end, typically with a length-width ratio 100 : 69, symmetrical with smoothly furved lateral swellings and gradually narrowing toward posterior end. Laterally, genital somite typically with a length-depth ratio 100 : 78. Dorsal wall sigmoid with a broadly rounded hump followed by a smooth shallow concavity. Genital prominence roundrd. Genital flange relatively high, smoothly rounded, followed by a lobular outgrowth, which is in turn followed by several concentric ridges. Posterior slope of lobular outgrowth extending linearly to posterior end of somite. Genital operculum reaching anterior edge of lobular outgrowth. Shape of genital flange remaining unchanged when genital operculum is open (Figs.114-d, e). Ventrally, genital operculum (Fig.114-h) asymmetrical, tapering posteriorly, typically with a length-width ratio 100 : 79 and 70% as wide as somite itself.

See remarks in H. abyssalis.
After Lapernat & Razouls (2002, p.19) the Itoh's index value = 2316.2 (number of teeth: 4) on the right Md, and 3281.5 on the left Md (number of teeth: 3).
For Grice & Hart (1962, p.295) this cold-water species has seldom been reported from neritic waters south of Cape Cod.
