Very similar to H. pallida (Cresson, 1865) because of the pale colored body and stigma, slender first metasomal tergite and simple tarsal claws. The new species differs by having the first subdiscal cell of forewing approx. 1.5 × longer than wide (approx. 2.5 × in H. pallida ), vein cu-a of forewing curved (straight) and mesosoma with dark brown pattern (entirely brownish yellow).
