1. Ovipositor relatively long, sheath slender throughout ( Fig. 7A,C View FIGURE 7 ); length of ovipositor sheath about 0.3× length of fore wing, 2.5 × width of T1 apically ( Fig. 7C View FIGURE 7 ) and about 0.35 × length of metasoma ( Fig. 7A,C View FIGURE 7 ); vein 1-M of fore wing regularly and distinctly curved ( Fig. 7B View FIGURE 7 ); mesosoma uniformly yellowish or reddish but not brownish, without any black parts ( Fig. 7A View FIGURE 7 ); Length of T1 about 1.2 × its apical width ( Fig. 9C View FIGURE 9 )............................................ H. similis Szépligeti View in CoL

- Ovipositor short, sheath somewhat thick near to middle ( Figs 4A View FIGURE 4 , 5C View FIGURE 5 , 6C View FIGURE 6 , 9F View FIGURE 9 ); length of ovipositor sheath 0.14–0.2 × length of fore wing, 0.8–1.5× width of T1 apically ( Figs. 4A View FIGURE 4 , 6C View FIGURE 6 ) and about 0.26–0.29× length of metasoma ( Figs. 4A View FIGURE 4 , 6A, C View FIGURE 6 ); vein 1-M of fore wing more or less straight ( Fig. 4B View FIGURE 4 ); mesosoma brownish (never yellowish), with some black ( Figs 4A View FIGURE 4 , 6A View FIGURE 6 ); length of T1 either as long as, 1.5 ×, or 2.6 × its apical width ( Figs 6C View FIGURE 6 , 9A, B View FIGURE 9 )............................................. 2
