H. verax also has a mesially emarginate ventroposterior margin of the gnathos; a slightly widened base of the phallus; a digitate process of the dorsal part of the valva that is broadly curved apically from a geniculate basal part; and an anellus that is broadly rounded apically that are lacking in H. texla . Description.—Head: Scales on vertex and frontoclypeus grayish-brown tipped with pale grayish brown. Outer surface of labial palpus brown intermixed with pale-brown scales along apical margins of segments 1–2; inner surface pale brown intermixed with few brown scales. Antennal scape and pecten grayish brown, flagellum gray. Proboscis pale grayish brown. Thorax: Tegula and mesonotum brown. Legs brown intermixed with pale-brown scales near midsegments and along apical margins of all segments and tarsomeres. Forewing ( Fig. 384 ): Length 4.0–4.5 mm (n = 2), brown intermixed with pale-brown scales; submedian fascia complete; cell with three dark-brown spots, one near middle, two on apical end along crossvein; marginal spots brown. Undersurface brown. Hindwing: Translucent pale brown. Abdomen: Male genitalia ( Figs. 195–196 ): Uncus gradually narrowed from broadly rounded base, slightly curved ventrally, narrowly rounded apically, sparsely setose, shorter than width of anal opening. Gnathos, thin band, confluent with tegumen; ventroposterior margin narrowly emarginate mesially. Sockets of tergal setae not extending to midlength of tegumen. Valva divided; ventral part projecting inwardly, gradually widened near middle, narrowing apically, forming inwardly curved apical process; process slightly curved, setose on outer surface, planate on inner surface; ventral margin slightly upturned beyond middle, forming narrow fold to near small, setose lobe at base of apical process; dorsal part with apical portion of costa extending dorsolaterally, forming setose digitate process; process broadly curved inwardly, narrowed basally, gradually widening to rounded apex; basal ridge of digitate process extending ventrally fusing with dorsal ridge of proximal flange; flange semicircular, sparsely microtrichiate on upper 1/4, densely setose on lower 3/4; ventral margin entire, lateral margin serrate. Juxta bandlike. Vinculum semicircular. Phallus and sclerite of phallus longer than valva; phallus shallowly curved, sclerite of phallus broadly curved apically from acutely curved basally part; anellus parallelsided from widened base, broadly rounded apically, setose.

The specific epithet verax is derived from the Latin meaning, truthful.
