Remarks: In H. decaocto , the yellow markings of the head ( Fig. 12a,e View Fig ) are amazingly similar to those of H. xanthopoda , but on the mesosoma, also scutellum and postscutellum are yellow. In contrast to H. xanthopoda , the integument of H. decaocto has distinct and very dense punctation, and the propodeum is rounded and without ridges. DATHE (2010) described the male and two females as H. (Paraprosopis) socheri from Iran, Province Yazd, at 2600–2900 m altitude.

The name “decaocta” (Greek δεκαοκτώ = eighteen) was coined without obvious relation to characters of this species: six yellow spots are present on the head, seven on the thorax, for example. As can be seen from the habitual usage of the author, Warncke explicitly applied this Greek numeral as latinized feminine adjective. According to the Latin grammar, numbers are adjectives which are dependent on the noun in declination and gender, so that Art. 31.2. of the ICZN applies.

H. decaocto was described on the basis of one female each from Hakkâri (1650 m, holotype) and Konya (1800 m). Since these sites are far away from each other, a wider distribution can be assumed, but possibly limited to the high mountain ranges. It is rarely collected in Turkey (2 provinces, Fig. 17 View Fig . VI) .

Distribution: Turkey: Hakkâri, Konya. Iran: Yazd province.
