The beetle with these data is a female paratype of H. aquila Angus et al., in the general collection of the Natural History Museum, London. One almost complete dividing nucleus was found, with 32 chromosomes, indicating a triploid nucleus with one chromosome lost in the course of preparation of the slide.
