Diagnosis.
This species is rather isolated morphologically and cannot be assigned to any species group here; even the subgenus is questionable, although the paired membranous apical lobes of the male S 7 qualify it for inclusion in Paraprosopis. The males of this dainty species with a round face are characterised by rough sculpture with dense, prominent punctation on the mesosoma and T 1, while the females can usually be recognised by a yellowish-white spot on the clypeus (Fig. 14) and a dominantly shagreen T 1 surface with only indistinct punctation. In contrast to H. clypearis, the mesopleura are distinctly shagreen and only sparsely punctate. Terminalia of males (Fig. 63): Genital capsule compact, gonocoxites considerably longer than gonostyli; S 7 with small proximal lobe; S 8 with short and narrow apical process without bipartite end.
Distribution.
Central and Eastern Europe, from SE France to the Volga. Asia: Anatolia to the Caspian Sea (Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaijan), Iran (Fars); south to Lebanon (Boustani et al. 2021).
