Material : 1 ♀, Kenya, Western, Kesogona, 6500 ft., 2.vi.1999, leg. D. Agassiz , genitalia in glycerol vial (coll. Agassiz).
Diagnosis: The deeply divided tergal plate together with the apically rounded ventral lobes of the valvae are diagnostic for the species. The male genitalia of the new species are similar to H. malawiensis sp. nov. and H. peregovitsi sp. nov. The species can only be separated by examination of the male genitalia.
Distribution: Kenya, Tanzania, Zimbabwe
Etymology: The specific epithet is derived from the Greek “taraktikos”, confusing, with reference to the complicated architecture of the anellus-phallus complex in the male genitalia.
