Etymology.
Named
H
.
nudapenis
(Latin
nuda
, without or lacking) referring to the absence of distal processes on the aedeagal shaft.
Remarks.
This species is similar to
H. caudospina
collected from the same locality in
Sulawesi
but lacks a ventral process on the connective caudal extension and the ventral process of the aedeagus is longer. Although the facial marking is almost completely brown in the two males examined compared to only brown dorsally in males of
H. caudospina
this difference needs to be confirmed by examination of further males as the similarly coloured topotypical females (tentatively identified under the two species) show a little variability in the extremes of facial marking.
