♀ (coll. ANHRT).
Remark.
The species was described based on its unique female
holotype
. A single female specimen was collected in the
Maputo
Special Reserve, which represents the second known specimen of the species. As the male
has remained unknown to date, the generic placement of
elachistonana
is rather tentative but according to the external similarity to
H. elachistomorpha
and the configuration of its female genitalia, this species probably also belongs to
Hampsonola
. New country record for
Mozambique
.
