Remarks. This species resembles H. segmentator in the face with the yellow area and the black ovipositor sheath, but can be distinguished by the antenna with 39 flagellomeres (28 in H. segmentator ), the T I 1.9 × as long as the maximum width (1.5 in H. segmentator ), and the hind coxa black (red to reddish brown in H. segmentator ).
