Type material.

Holotype. ♀ (KNA), South Korea, DMZ Botanical Garden, Mandae-ri, Haean-myeon, Yanggu-gun, Gangwon-do, 38°15'09.3"N, 128°06'40.6"E, 27 May-20 Jun 2017, Shin & Kim leg. GenBank accession no. MZ717196.

Comparative diagnosis.

This species is similar to H. verticalis Zhu, van Achterberg & Chen, 2018 from China because of the vertical vein r-m of fore wing, deep and coarsely crenulate notauli, eye much longer than temple in dorsal view and second tergite about as long as third tergite or slightly longer, but differs by having the hind tibia yellowish-brown (largely blackish in H. verticalis ), the third metasomal tergite (except basally) largely smooth and, in lateral view, truncated apically (coarsely rugose and rounded apically in H. verticalis ), vein 1-r-m of hind wing shorter than vein 1-M (about of equal length in H. verticalis ), the pterostigma subparallel-sided apically (slightly widened in H. verticalis ), vein 3-CU1 of fore wing comparatively short (long in H. verticalis ) and the precoxal sulcus wide medially (comparatively narrow in H. verticalis ).

Description.

♀. Length of body in lateral view 2.6 mm, length of antenna 4.7 mm and length of fore wing 2.9 mm.

Colour. Body (Fig. 1A View Figure 1 ) mainly reddish-brown; head black; antenna brown basally; mandible reddish-brown. Head. Head (Fig. 1D View Figure 1 ) width 1.6 times median length in dorsal view. Antenna (Fig. 1B View Figure 1 ) 1.8 times longer than body in female, 43-segmented. First flagellomere 0.7 times longer than second. Eye slightly oval, 1.1 times as long as wide in lateral view. Width of face (Fig. 1E View Figure 1 ) 2.1 times its height from ventral rim of antennal sockets to upper margin of clypeus; face with long setae. Eye in dorsal view 1.7 times as long as temple. Ocello-ocular line (OOL) 4.5 times longer than diameter of anterior ocellus; OOL:antero-posterior ocellar line (AOL):postero-ocellar line (POL) = 18:6:7. Stemmaticum concave. Vertex smooth and shiny with groove. Mandible with four teeth or lobes (Fig. 1J View Figure 1 ); dorsal tooth large and lobe-shaped; ventral tooth lobe-shaped, middle of tooth curved. Medial length of mandible 1.7 times longer than maximum width. Labrum small, 1.4 times longer than wide. Maxillary palp 0.5 times longer than mesosoma.

Mesosoma. Mesosoma (Fig. 1F View Figure 1 ) 2.0 times longer than wide in dorsal view: with medio-posterior depression; notauli coarsely crenulate anteriorly and deeply impressed, up to anterior level of medio-posterior depression (Fig. 1F View Figure 1 ); scutellar sulcus indistinct, with two carinae and sparse setae; small basal bump on hind coxa. Propodeum (Fig. 1F View Figure 1 ) largely reticulate, 1.7 times longer than wide in dorsal view. Metapleuron anteriorly crenulate and with setae; precoxal sulcus (Fig. 1G View Figure 1 ) crenulated, with about nine carinae. Fore wing (Fig. 1C View Figure 1 ) 2.4 times as long as wide; pterostigma long and robust, 3.4 times longer than wide; vein r of fore wing 2.6 times longer than wide and 0.4 times as long as maximum width of pterostigma; vein 1-M slightly bent; 2-SR+M not sclerotised; veins 1-SR+M:2-SR = 9:12; veins 2-SR: r: 3-SR = 12:3:7; first subdiscal cell of fore wing 2.8 times longer than wide. Hind wing veins M+CU:1-M:1r-m = 10:6:4.

Leg. Hind coxa compressed, 1.5 times longer than hind trochanter; hind femur 0.7 times longer than hind tibia and 8.0 times longer than wide; hind tibia 1.1 times longer than hind tarsus, tarsal claws slender (Fig. 1L View Figure 1 ).

Metasoma. First tergite parallel-sided posteriorly, striate and 1.1 times longer than its apical width (Fig. 3A View Figure 3 ); first tergite 0.9 times as long as second. Second tergite distinctly rugose and 1.2 times as long as third tergite, third tergite (except basally) largely smooth (Fig. 3A View Figure 3 ). Setose part of ovipositor sheath (Fig. 1I View Figure 1 ) 1.3 times longer than mesosoma, 1.3 times metasoma, 1.3 times as long as hind tibia, with long setae.
