Hogna FP-2740 is most similar to H. kuyani based on the length of the tegular apophysis in males and the epigyne in females, but they differ distinctly based on the lateral light margin on the carapace, which is absent in H. kuyani.
Hogna FP-2740 has so far only been found along the high water mark at beaches on Barrow Island.
