The genitalia of the three following species are very similar to those of 
the genotype, H. conscriptellu Hubner (Europe) which have been figured 
by Pierce (loc. 'tit.). The gnathos, the dentate projection at the base of 
the sacculus, and the aedoeagus show slight but distinct specific differences.
