Note. Since the type specimen of Cotinusa humillima has not been examined, the identification of this species is based on the good illustrations by GALIANO (1963b: figs 8-10, 1965: fig. 9).

Diagnosis. The male of this species has a RTA very similar to that of H. cancrimana, with a short ventral branch and a developed dorsal branch, but can be distinguished by the ventral basal projection on the RTA (Fig. 18) and the longer embolus (Fig. 17).
