Remarks.
The new species is similar to
Homoneura
(
Homoneura
)
gibbosa
Sasakawa
from
Malaysia
in wing pattern, subcostal cell brown apically; frons without brown stripe and mesonotum with brown medial stripes, but it can be separated from the latter by the epandrium lack a gibbosity on inner side of anterior ventral corner; the surstylus having double processes; the hypandrium being H-shaped; the aedeagus having a pair of subuliform middle processes and a hamate apical process in lateral view. In
gibbosa
, the epandrium has a gibbosity on inner side of anterior ventral corner and the surstylus has a short and erected process on the inner side of epandrium; the hypandrium is U-shaped; the aedeagus has a pair of acute middle processes which points forward, without a hamate apical process (
Sasakawa, 1992
).
Etymology.
Latin,
hamata
, meaning hamate, referring to the aedeagus with a hamate apical process; a feminine adjective.
