Taxonomy notes
previously known under the name H. pratti, but the name swinhoii was shown to be the appropriate name for the species; the name swinhoii was previously considered a synonym of H. armiger; often spelt 'swinhoei', but the name was originally spelt 'swinhoii' and 'swinhoei' is an unjustified emendation (not appearing to be in prevailing use), so the spelling has been changed to match the original description
