Etymology. The specific name is from Latin “ montanus ” (mountainous). This species is found in mountainous areas.
Remarks. This species resembles H. orbitalis Thomson, 1895 in the body colouration but can be distinguished by the T I 2.3 × as long as the maximum width (shorter than 2.0 × in H. orbitalis ) and the face with a median black oval mark (entirely yellow in H. orbitalis ).
