Diagnosis. Body oval­convex. Integument black, pronotum and elytra with yellow spots ( Fig. 18 ). Pronotum with transverse black trapezoid­shaped spot, bordered antero­laterally with narrow yellow margin. Each elytron with four spots: the first, a round basal spot close to suture and to base of elytron; the second, also round, slightly larger than first and near the suture in center of elytral disc; third, also round, close to lateral margin; fourth, transverse, largest and very close to suture and to external border of elytron. Length 2.58–2.92 mm . Width 1.92–2.25 mm . Male. Median lobe asymmetrical, smaller than parameres, with wide base and truncate apex; parameres wide, with long bristles ( Fig. 31 ). Sipho long, curved, with modified membranous apex ( Fig. 32 ). Female. Genital plate wide with small style; spermatheca arched, cylindrical, with rounded cornus and poorly evident ramus; infundibulum elongate. Last sternite with dense elongate bristles on apical border ( Fig. 33 ). Variation. A lateral spot is sometimes present between the elytral callus and the external border, and is triangular, small or may join the third spot. Remarks. Hinda modesta resembles H. regularis , H. humerata and H. joeli in color, but the spots are distributed differently, and the genitalia differ. Type Material.
