Description.
Measurements. Body length: male: 3.8–4.1 mm.
Ground color red. Anteclypeus slightly broader in male than in female ( Fig. 8 View FIGURES 1–22 ).
1T apodemes forming arc bending apicad, not extended to segment II ( Fig. 26 View FIGURES 23–37 ). Male pygofer in profile with apex rounded, bearing 6–7 rigid microsetae along posterior margin, dorsal bridge well developed ( Figs 27, 28 View FIGURES 23–37 , 46–48 View FIGURES 46–53 ). Subgenital plate far exceeding pygofer lobe, gradually curved toward pygofer ventral margin; basal setae (7–8) situated on broadest section of plate, two or three setae separated from bristle clusters; marginal setae (6–8) sparse, arranged in single row; macrosetae (5) discrete, not extended to tip of plate; feeble microsetae (10–12) inconspicuous ( Figs 27 View FIGURES 23–37 , 46, 49 View FIGURES 46–53 ). Aedeagus shaft tubular, with attenuate distal extension and pair of shorter asymmetrical processes subapically, one rounded and longer, other shorter and pointed; gonopore subapical on ventral side ( Figs 50, 51 View FIGURES 46–53 ). Style bearing 6–7 tiny teeth apically and 5–6 fine setae subapically ( Fig. 52 View FIGURES 46–53 ). Anal tube process smooth ( Fig. 53 View FIGURES 46–53 ).
Etymology. The name is an arbitrary combination of letters.
Remarks. This new species is similar to H. haematoptilus in having the 1T apodemes not extended to segment II and triangular in shape ( Fig. 26 View FIGURES 23–37 ). However, H. osificata differs from H. haematoptilus in having the aedeagus with three distal projections, all extended distad ( Fig. 50 View FIGURES 46–53 ). The aedeagus H. haematoptilus has only two distal projections, one extended ventrad ( Fig. 42 View FIGURES 38–45 ).
Distribution. Thailand.
