Description. Female (n=5). Body length 4.4–4.7 (HT: 4.7) mm. Body densely coriaceous, covered with silver setae.
Head matt. Clypeus 2.0 times as wide as maximum length, its anterior margin rounded. MSL 1.0–1.1 (HT: 1.0) times as long as BWM. OOL almost as long as POL. OOL and POL longer than OD. Occipital carina complete, its lower end joined with hypostomal carina distant from mandibular base. Upper tooth of mandible slightly longer than lower tooth. Base of mandible flat. Antenna with 22–24 (HT: 24) flagellomeres. FL III 3.3 times as long as maximum depth in lateral view.
Mesosoma. Lateral part of pronotum covered with longitudinal striae ventrally, the interspace of striae polished. Epomia indistinct. Mesoscutum matt. Notaulus short, fading out in front of the center of mesoscutum. Scutellum polished and punctate, without a lateral longitudinal carina except for posterior half. Mesopleuron covered with longitudinal striae ventrally except for smooth speculum ( Fig. 43D View Fig ). Posterior transverse carina of mesosternum largely absent in front of mid coxae. Metapleuron with a complete juxtacoxal carina. Propodeal carinae complete ( Fig. 65O View Fig ). Area basalis distinct ( Fig. 65O View Fig ). Area superomedia distinct, transversely elongate, its length almost as long as area basalis ( Fig. 65O View Fig ). Postero-lateral corner of area dentipara weakly projected. Area petiolaris strongly elongated. Propodeum polished, partly irregularly, obliquely, and transversely rugulose, with a smooth area in the median part of area petiolaris. Length of fore wing 2.8–3.6 (HT: 3.6) mm. Areolet absent ( Fig. 43E View Fig ). Vein 2m-cu of fore wing with a single bulla. Nervellus inclivous, intercepted behind the middle ( Fig. 43E View Fig ). Hind femur 4.2–4.3 (HT: 4.2) times as long as maximum depth in lateral view. Hind TS I: II: III: IV: V = 2.0: 0.8–0.9 (HT: 0.9): 0.6: 0.3: 0.4. Tarsal claws simple.
Metasoma. T I 2.1–2.2 (HT: 2.2) times as long as maximum width, longitudinally striate. Median dorsal carina of T I absent. Dorsolateral carina of T I indistinct. T II to T VI wider than long, finely and densely punctate. Ovipositor sheath 0.5–0.56 (HT: 0.5) times as long as hind tibia. Ovipositor straight, with or without an obtuse nodus and with weak ventral teeth ( Fig. 66M View Fig ).
Coloration ( Figs 43A–E View Fig ). Body (excluding wings and legs) black to blackish brown. Scape, pedicel, and base of FL I reddish brown to brown. Clypeus more or less tinged with reddish brown. Mandible yellowish brown except for darkened apex and base. Palpi and tegula whitish yellow. Collar and antero-dorsal corner of mesopleuron tinged with reddish brown. Apex of T I, T II, and base of T III reddish yellow. Posterior margins of T III to T VI narrowly tinged with reddish brown. T VII whitish yellow. T III to T VII more or less tinged with brown. Membranous part of metasomal sternites whitish yellow. Ovipositor yellowish brown. Wings hyaline. Veins and pterostigma brown to dark brown. Legs yellowish brown to reddish brown. Fore and mid coxae, basal part of fore tibia, and all tibial spurs, trochanters and trochantelli whitish yellow to yellow. Hind femur, tibia except for base, and tarsus more or less darkened.
Male. Unknown.
Distribution. Japan (Hokkaido and Honshu).
Bionomics. Unknown.
Remarks. This species resembles H. similis ( Gmelin, 1790) , but it can be distinguished by the following combination of character states: hind coxa reddish brown (at least partly black in H. similis ); mesosoma without red area (usually with red area in H. similis ); ovipositor sheath 0.5–0.56 times as long as hind tibia (ca. 0.75 in H. similis ). This species also resembles H. maculipterus sp. nov. but it can be distinguished by the above key.
