The specific epithet abranchiata (masculine: abranchiatus) is a New Latin adjective composed by the Latin prefix a-, meaning 'absence of', and the Latin adjective branchiatus, meaning 'having gills', and refers to the lack of branchiae in the species: "Branchiae are absent. [...] H. abranchiata differs from other species of the genus in lacking branchiae" (Hartman, 1965: 103-104). [details]
