Female on card; India : Arunachal Pradesh : West Siang district : Aalo ; Yellow pan trap ; 05.i.2019 ; coll. NBAIR ; code-NIM/ NBAIR /Hym/Brac/Hera/50119 . Key characters: Pedicel pale yellowish as scape; antennomeres 25 th –28 th white; eye length 4.4 × as long as temple; third antennomere 0.8 × as long as length of fourth. Scutellum spine straight; spine of scutellum in dorsal view 1.6 × as long as median carina of scutellar sulcus. Pterostigma more or less elliptical. Tarsal claws slender, longer than arolium ( Figs 7D, 7E ). First tergite 1.2 × as long as its apical width. Ovipositor sheath 0.8 × as long as hind tibia. Comments. This species is very close to H. filosa ; however, more specimens need to be collected and examined to ascertain that the main difference (stout first tergite) is not just clinal variation. In H. filosa it is known to vary at least 20% (1.5–1.8 ×); colour is variable, so preferably some structural differences in several specimens can confirm the status of the species.
