(E.) chrysomela in having similar body colouration and wing venation, but it can be separated by the following: femur yellow on basal third andposterior margin more blackish brown; basal third of cells CuA, CuP, and A 1 more greyish yellow, approaching dark brown distally (Fig. 6). In H. (E.) chrysomela, the femur is brownish black; cells CuP and A 1 are basally pale yellow but darker distally (Figs 1 A, 2 A – D, 3 B, 3 D). Both species can be also separated by the features of male genitalia. In H. (E.) guangxiensis sp. nov., male terminalia are reddish brown, the ninth tergite has a U-shaped concavity; the interbase is relatively straight, elongate-conical, with the basal part thick, and gradually tapering toward apex; the paramere is subpentagonal in lateral view; the aedeagal apodeme is subtriangular in lateral view, approximately 1 / 3 of the size of the paramere (Fig. 7). In H. (E.) chrysomela, male terminalia are orangish yellow; the ninth tergite has a deep, triangular incision at a concavity; the interbase is rod-shaped, uniform in width, and slightly curved dorsad at the apex; the paramere is fan-shaped in lateral view; and the aedeagal apodeme is fan-shaped laterally, about ½ of the size of the paramere (Fig. 4).</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/3812FFC53E3F5960B05BA8064016E7F8	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
