Taxonomy notes
previously included H. poutensis and includes the recently described khasiana, which is a nomen nudum as the publication in which the name was first used does not include a proper description, holotype designation, or type locality; the khasiana form likely represents a distinct species, but further studies are needed to both confirm this and name the form; the species limits between H. grandis, H. larvatus, and H. poutensis is currently unresolved and represents a species complex
