Remarks.
The new species is similar to
H. hepneri
(Dworakowska)
in lacking an aedeagal process, but the style lamellar process is distinctly longer than the club-shaped process, the aedeagal shaft is broader basally in lateral view, and the preatrial process is curved dorsad.
Etymology.
The specific name is derived from the Latin word ā
prostratus
ā, referring to the compressed aedeagal shaft.
