Holotype. ARGENTINA. Province of Salta: 1 ♂ Quebrada of San Lorenzo , [Quebrada of Catayete, Province of Salta?], 10.II.1953, R. Foerster Coll. ( MMB).
Measurements. Total length 13.6; total width 6.6; head length 1.4; head width 3.0; interocular distance: 1.6; length of antennomeres I: 0.9; II: 0.7; III: 1.4; IV: 2.5; V: lost; pronotum length 2.6; pronotum width 7.7; scutellum length 5.7; scutellum width 4.4.
Diagnosis. Second antennomer smaller than the others (II<I<III<IV).Anterolateral margin of pronotum punctured ( Fig. 10E View FIGURE 10 ). Scutellum with punctures of the same size ( Fig. 10E View FIGURE 10 ). Hemelytrom membrane transparent ( Fig. 10E View FIGURE 10 ). Metasternal process with arms of anterior bifurcation receiving 2/3 of third rostral segment ( Fig. 10F View FIGURE 10 ). Pseudosutures of abdomen without adjacent dark green spot ( Fig. 10F View FIGURE 10 ). Male genitalia. Dorsal surface with spot extending about ½ of the length of the pygophore ( Fig. 3A View FIGURE 3 ). Dorsal rim with lateral expansions level with posterolateral angles and rounded ( Figs. 3A, 3C View FIGURE 3 ). Superior process of the genital cup elliptic, face rough in posterior view ( Fig. 3B View FIGURE 3 ). Paramere spearhead-shaped, lobes slightly developed, apex truncated ( Figs. 3B, 3D View FIGURE 3 ). Proctiger strongly excavated laterally, excavation covered by long and dense setae; dorsal face tapering posteriorly; posterior face subpentagonal, basal third constricted ( Figs. 3B, 3D View FIGURE 3 ). Inner wall with swollen area large and close to posterolateral angles ( Fig. 3D View FIGURE 3 , black arrow). Ventral rim strongly excavated, U-shaped; expansions ending laterally in a rounded projection ( Fig. 4C View FIGURE 4 ). Female genitalia. Unknown.
Distribution ( Fig. 12 View FIGURE 12 ). ARGENTINA: Salta.
Comments. The species H. subrastratus , H. myrtacivorus sp. n. and H. saltensis sp. n. share the proctiger strongly laterally excavated and tapered posteriorly. The species H. saltensis sp. n. differs from the other species of the group H. triangularis by anterior and posterior lobes of the paramere barely developed, giving a spearhead shape.
