Comments: Simone (2002b) regarded H. antiquatus as restricted to the Eastern Pacific. However, H. antiquatus was described without type locality, so a neotype designate may be necessary to resolve the issue. Simone's H. leptus may prove to be the correct name for at least some Western Atlantic records of H. antiquatus.
