Remarks.
I have examined the
holotype
, including the male genitalia, of
H. radhakishunae
(ZMHB)
, and the
lectotype
of
H. pumilio
(RBINS)
(see figures in
Perkins, 2019a
), and conclude without doubt that they represent different species. The locality data of the specimen imaged, from Nova Teutonia, (
Fig. 29
) is given above.
