Remark. The length and shape of tegmina of H. neimongolensis (see Jin, 1994: fig. 145a) is the same as in holotype of H. brunneriana (see Saussure, 1888: pl. 2, fig. 10); the shape of posterior margin of pronotum is variable in H. brunneriana from obtuse to acute angulated. Therefore herein H. neimongolensis Jin, 1994 is considered as a pure synonym of H. brunneriana.
