Similar to H. kateperezae sp. nov. because of the long vein 2-SR+M of forewing (ca. as long as vein m-cu) and moderately widened and medium-sized vein 1Cua of forewing, but differs by having a brownish stripe in the subbasal cell of forewing (absent in H. kateperezae ), vein m-cu of forewing much longer than vein 3-Cu1 (slightly longer in H. kateperezae ), hind tarsus brownish yellow (ivory in H. kateperezae ), tarsal claws with lamella (absent in H. kateperezae ) and vein cu-a of forewing subvertical (inclivous in H. kateperezae ). The long vein 2-SR+M of forewing (ca. as long as vein m-cu), simple tarsal claws and distinctly widened marginal cell of hind wing are shared with the H. texana (Muesebeck, 1932) from USA and Mexico. However, the new species has vein 1Cua distinctly wider than vein 2-Cu1 (similar in H. texana ), claws with ventral lamella (with no lamella in H. texana ), ovipositor sheath ca. as long as body (distinctly longer than body in H. texana ) and first metasomal tergite hardly widened posteriorly (distinctly widened in H. texana ).
