Variability. Female: 583.4–758.9 m (mean=651.4 m; n=21), Male 643.5–1173.0 m (mean=842.0 m; n=19).
P3 endopod of male usually possesses two distal setae as in all species of Huntemannia, but one male among 25 males studied have only one seta distally. A non-modified, outer distal seta on P4 exopod fused to two segments has also been observed in male. No variability was observed in females.
Etymology. The species is named in honour of Dr. Do Heon Kwon, Inje University of South Korea who made outstanding systematic contributions in the field of terrestrial Isopoda.
