Material examined. 1 ♀ ( holotype ), Mongolia , Central aimak, 12 km S von Somon Bajanbaraat , 1380 m , 13.vii.1967 , Exp. Dr. Z. Kaszab (Nr. 918) (HNHM) . Comparative diagnosis. This species is similar to H. hamooniae sp. n.; differences between both species are described under the latter species. Moreover, this species is similar to H. mysteriosus Fischer, 1971 but differs from it in having the temple in lower half with distinct prominence (Fig. 3B, E, F ) (without prominence in H. mysteriosus : Fig. 5B, C, E, F ), occipital carinae not strongly separated from hypostomal carina (widely separated from hypostomal carina in H. mysteriosus ), first flagellar segment 3.1 times as long as its maximum width (3.7 times in H. mysteriosus ), sixth flagellar segment 1.9 times as long as its maximum width (2.9 times in H. mysteriosus ), POL 2.8 times OD (3.8 times in H. mysteriosus ), OOL 1.9 times OD (3.5 times in H. mysteriosus ), hind femur 3.3 times as long as its maximum width (4.0 times in H. mysteriosus ), first metasomal tergite 1.3 times as long as its apical width (0.8 times in H. mysteriosus ), marginal cell 3.1 times as long as its maximum width (4.2 times in H. mysteriosus ), and vein 3-SR 1.3 times as long as vein 2-SR (0.8 times in H. mysteriosus ).

Mesosoma. In lateral view, 1.2 times as long as high. Mesoscutum 0.9 times as long as its maximum width. Posterior mesopleural furrow smooth. Legs. Hind femur 3.3 times as long as its maximum width. Hind tibia about 7.5 times as long as its maximum subapical width, as long as hind tarsus. First segment of hind tarsus 1.6 times as long as second segment. Wings.
