Body length: male 5.0–6.0 mm to tip of the forewing; female
6.5–7.2 mm
to the tip of forewing,
7.5–8.3 mm
to the end of ovipositor. Vertex subtriangular, wide angular and declined forward anteriorly in male; broadly rounded and slightly upturned anteriorly in female. Ocellus close to corresponding eye. Measurements of vertex length: interocular width: pronotal length (mm): male 0.70: 1.0: 0.70, female 1.0: 1.3: 0.80. Pronotum slightly wider than head.
Male genitalia:
Plates with six setae laterally. Pygofer side pointed apically. Aedeagus with pair of terminal processes, branched, slightly flattened, curving dorsally; shaft expanding medially, ridged ventrally; gonopore apical.
Female genitalia:
Ovipositor extending beyond pygofer at 1.5 times its width. Seventh sternum with round projection medially.
Distribution.
China
(
Yunnan
).
Etymology.
The species name is derived from the
type
locality.
Remarks.
This species is similar to
H. prasinus
but can be easily distinguished from the latter by having a pair of forked processes. It also resembles
H. muzaffarabadensis
Naveed & Zhang
but can be distinguished by details of the shape of the aedeagal shaft especially at the apex, the shape of the subgenital plate, and number of macrosetae on the subgenital plate.
