H. pospelovashtromae is a moderately large haemaphysalid, the adult males averaging 2.7 mm in length and 1.4 mm in width, and unengorged adult females 3.4 mm in length and 2.8 mm in width.[1] When unengorged, they are of a yellowish color.[1] The conscutum of the male is pear-shaped, and the scutum of the female is slightly longer than wide with the outline widest at the anterior third of the length and gradually converging to a moderately pointed posterior margin.[1] The posterior margin of the idiosoma has 11 festoons.[1]
