Derivatio nominis
: Named after the collector, H. Hacker.
Diagnosis
(
Fig. 7
): Wingspan ca.
10 mm
; head with creamy adpressed scales, antennae with same colouration, thick, scapus without pecten; labial palpi inside creamy, outside somewhat darker; thorax, tegulae and forewings shiny golden, without any pattern; hindwings shiny whitish.
Male genitalia
(
Figs 36-38
): Uncus with two pointed, bristled lobi, tegumen band-shaped, vinculum broad, with very long thin saccus; valvae with apodemes half of the length of phallus, apodemes nearly a half of the length of the entire valvae, inside the valvae an oblique, more strongly sclerotised, rod-shaped stripe with short thorns, costal edge concave, ventral edge in the first half parallel-sided, in the second half oblique to a rounded apex; phallus 2/3 of the length of uncus-tegumen-saccus complex, narrow, subapically with minute strongly sclerotised tooth.
Female genitalia
: Unknown.
Remarks
: Superficially distinguishable from the only other member of this genus (
H. extricata
GOZMÁNY, 1965
) in lacking the violet sheen. In the male genitalia the shape of valva (concave costal edge, parallel-sided and then oblique ventral edge) and the minute subapical tooth on phallus are characteristic for the species.
The species is the first representative of this genus in the Palaearctic.
