Concerning the males of H. fertilis Giesbrecht, 1892 and H. spiniceps, see remarks in Park (1988, p.14).
Timonin (1971, p.282) considers the trophic interrelations in the equatorial and tropical Indian Ocean, and divides the plankters into 6 trophic groups from the litterature and the results of studies of mouth-parts structure and intestine content. This species is a piercing and sucking carnivorous.
