Di a g n o s i s:
H. haladai
is characterized by a slender body (pronotum and tergite I at least as long as wide), pronotum medio-laterally with wide emargination (pronotum is basally and apically wider than medially) and with a basal process on male subgenital plate. By these characters is it similar to
F. alreesii
n.sp. and both species form a separate species group without doubt. However, the subgenital process is rounded in
F. haladai
, and spine-like and pointed in
F. alressii
. Also,
F. alreseeii
is much larger than
F. haladei
(see description).
F. haladai
is also characterized by colour pattern. It is all black with pronotum red. Wings are transparent, and crossing between propodeal dorsum and declivity is rounded.
Description of male, holotype: Bodylength
7.5 mm
. Colour: Black, pronotum red, with medial black longitidunal spot in apical half. Head and mesosoma covered with fine and scattered silver pubescence, propodeal dorsum without pubescence. Declivity of tergite I, base of tergite II and III with narrow band of greyish pubescence, band on tergite II as large as length of
AS
III. Wings transparent. grey. Morphology: Apical clypeal margin widely rounded. Malar space very short, as long as half midocellar diameter. Gena and vertex short. crossing between propodeal dorsum and declivity rounded, declivity with dense striation. Subgenital plate with large, U-shaped process basally below.

Gena and vertex long, genae 0,6x as long as width of eye. Crossing between propodeal dorsum and declivity rounded, declivity with dense pubescence, structure not visible due to preparation of specimen.
