Diagnosis.

Externally, the species is very similar to H. kleebergi, but differs mainly in relatively weak build, dark metallic colour, larger eyes, narrow reddish-yellow apical margin of abdominal segment VII and entirely golden pubescence of first three visible tergites (pubescence of first three visible tergites entirely black in H. kleebergi).
