Remarks
: This species was described by
Williamson (1919)
based on a series of
33 males
and
17 females
collected in a couple of weeks.
Bota-Sierra (2016)
catalogued it in the IUCN red list as Critically Endangered (CR) because, since its discovery by Williamson in 1917, it had not been found again. Despite of sampling efforts at the type locality and surrounding areas, where a large amount of its habitat had disappeared.
Bota-Sierra & Novelo-Gutiérrez (2017)
presented images of color pattern of head and thoracic intersternites of
paratypes
deposited in Rosser W. Garrison personal collection (RWG). We rediscovered this species at new localities in
Chocó
and
Risaralda
Departments. Photographs of male cerci (
Fig. 11
A–C), female intersternite, genital valves (
Fig. 15
G–I) and head color pattern (
Fig. 6
E–F) are presented.
Color pattern of head of males is very similar to
H. angustipenne
because of the black postclypeus, but
H. peregrinum
differs in having abdomen length close to
35mm
, while in
H. angustipenne
abdomen is longer than
39mm
, and the angle between medial process and tip of cerci is close to 90° in
H. angustipenne
(
Fig. 7D
), but close to 45° in
H. peregrinum
(
Fig. 11A
). Female is characterized by having an intersternite with a digitiform dorsal plate (
Fig.
15I
).
