Conservation
Heliocapensis bellus is listed as Data Deficient for Taxonomic reasons due to its small range.[3] Some more sampling is needed to collect the female and determine the species' range.[3]
Taxonomy
The species is known only from the male.[3] It was transferred to Heliocapensis by Wesołowska in 2024.[4] This species is likely a synonym and the unknown male of H. capensis, as they were collected from the same locality at the same time.[3]
