  Comment  
Treated as junior synonym, for this name is still widely used for H. guttulatus; however, it is unclear what species the type species represents, for it is not similar to H. guttulatus group (Ref. 30915). Valid in Dawson (Ref. 4509).
  Etymology of generic noun  
Greek, ippos = horse + Greek,kampe = curvature (Ref. 45335).
