Etymology.
This species is named for its relatively short aedeagal shaft.
Remarks.
This species is similar to
H. longipenis
and from the same locality. It can be distinguished from this and other similar species by its relatively short aedeagal shaft. A series of females with the same data (various dates) similar to this and
H. longipenis
have been seen (BMNH), which could be either species; all have the pregenital sternite triangularly produced medially.
