Diagnosis.

Amongst the species of the nominal subgenus with four outer segments of antennae creamy white, H. puetzi may be easily recognised by the narrower head (HW/HL: 1.14-1.16 in H. puetzi , HW/HL: 1.22 in H. languidum , HW/HL: 1.29 in H. xizangense , HW/HL: 1.24-1.35 in H. chenchangchini ) and other differences (see diagnoses in Hesperosoma (s.str.) xizangense sp. nov. and Hesperosoma (s.str.) languidum sp. nov.).
