Very similar to the Nearctic and Neotropical H. delicata (Cresson, 1872) because of its size, narrow temples, robust first metasomal tergite and pale yellow stigma, but differs by having simple tarsal claws (with small ventral lamella in H. delicata ), vein cu-a of forewing slightly inclivous and straight (subvertical and slightly curved in H. delicata ), vein 1Cua of forewing wider than vein 2-Cu1 (similar in H. delicata ), T1-2 largely smooth and shiny (aciculate and less shiny in H. delicata ) and malar space ca. as long as basal width of mandible (shorter in H. delicata ).
