Legs. Hind coxa finely punctate, without ventro-basal tubercle; tarsal claws moderately robust, longer than arolium ( Fig. 6N ); length of femur, tibia and basitarsus of hind leg 4.5, 6.5 and 5.0 × their width, respectively; apical appendages of hind tarsal segments absent, segments ventrally with dense bristles ( Fig. 6N ). Metasoma.

Colour. Black ( Fig. 5 ); head reddish yellow; pterostigma and veins brown; wing membrane slightly infuscated. Variation. Body length: 6.1–8.2 mm , length of fore wing 5.8–7.7 mm . Comparative diagnosis. This species is similar to H. hymaenei Belokobylskij , but differs by having a short and densely crenulated medio-posterior depression of mesoscutum ( versus simple and long in H. hymaenei ); vein cu-a of fore wing antefurcal ( versus postfurcal); second tergite of metasoma 1.1 × as long as third tergite ( versus distinct longer than third tergite); and hind coxa densely punctate ( versus smooth). Etymology . Named “ poricrenulata ” because of the crenulated medio-posterior depression: “porus” is Latin for “pit” and “crena” is Latin for “notch”.
