This species, which was described from a single specimen from Boisduval's collection, 

 appears to be nearest to H. proto. It may be distinguished from that species, however, 

 by reason that the pale subterminal band on the hind wing below, which in II. proto is 

 at the most only represented by a row of small indistinct pale spots, is developed 

 into a well-defined band about two-thirds as broad as the median band.
