(Philipp ines ), the distinctive features are tabulated as follows: H. amus sp

LSKIJ 1980:369) Antenna with (19-)20-21 antennomeres . r 1 and r_2 equal in length. On my request the "Type" (or holotype) of H. pacificus (ASHMEAD) was kindly placed at my disposal for taxonomic study by Dr. P. M. MARSH (Washington, National Museum of Natural History) to whom I express my sincere gratitude in promoting my taxonomic work. - Metasoma of the "Type" absent. On the basis of ASHMEAD's original description (1905: 412) the species is unrecognizable .
