Distribution.

China (Anhui, Fujian, Guangxi, Hubei and Hunan). New to Anhui, Guangxi and Hunan.

Diagnosis.

The species is very similar to H. miwai , but may be distinguished by the paler, almost entirely reddish tibiae. From H. guizhouense and H. alexpuchneri , the main distinguishing character is the aedeagus (Figs 81-83 ) (see diagnosis in H. guizhouense ).
