Head (Fig. 3) yellow. Frons slightly wider than long and parallel-sided; ocellar triangle brown; oc strong, about as long as anterior or, anterior or shorter than posterior or. Gena about 1/6 height of eye.

Proboscis yellowish brown, with yellowish and blackish hairs; palpus pale yellow with blackish hairs.

Abdomen (Fig. 5) yellow; tergites 2-5 somewhat irregular brownish yellow at anterior margin. Male genitalia (Figs. 6-10): protandrium incompletely circular; epandrium nearly trapezoid in lateral view; surstylus claviform, curved backward and acuate apically; hypandrial apodeme long and parallel; gonopod columniform, about as long as aedeagus; aedeagus without apical incision, but with pair of dorsal sclerites incurved and convergent apically; aedeagal apodeme as long as aedeagus.

REMARKS: The new species resembles
H. longinotata
Shi & Yang from
China
(
Hainan
) in the following characters: ocellar triangle brown; oc about as long as anterior or; arista long plumose, with longest hairs as long as height of 1st flagello-

mere; wing with similar pattern; abdomen without dark spots; surstylus claviform, curved backward and acuate apically. But it can be separated from the latter by the following features: frons without dark bands; 1st flagellomere brownish; protandrium incompletely circular; aedeagus without apical incision; aedeagal apodeme as long as aedeagus. In
H. longinotata
, the frons has 2 brownish bands; the 1st flagellomere is black at apical 1/3; the protandrium is a complete circle; the apical incision of the aedeagus is deep; the aedeagal apodeme is shorter than aedeagus (
