Diagnosis. Externally this species is very similar to H. coalita sp. nov. and difficult to distinguish from each other except by genital characteristics. In H. heteroidea, the distal end of valva is nearly semicircular and the apical end is rounded; the phallus has two separate, banded cornuti; one is long and wide and the other is thin and short. The posterior half of corpus bursae is narrowed and about half the width of the anterior half. In H. coalita, the distal end of the valva is nearly triangular and the apical end is pointed; the phallus has three anteriorly connected cornuti, one short lamina, and two long bands; and the posterior half of the corpus bursae is cystiform and slightly narrower than the width of anterior half. Description. Adult (Fig. 3 D). Refer to the adult description of H. coalita because it is externally identical. Male genitalia (Fig. 4 G, H). Valva very gradually narrowed distally, distal end nearly semicircular and apical end rounded; fibula slender. Phallus with two separate, banded cornuti, one long, wide, and distally pointed, the other thin and short. Female genitalia (Fig. 4 L). Apophyses anteriores about two times length of apophyses posteriores. Ductus bursae approximately one-quarter length of corpus bursae. Corpus bursae with anterior half nearly oval, posterior half sclerotized and narrowed, about half width of the anterior half; arciform signum transverse. Etymology. The specific name is derived from the Latin heteroideus, meaning different shapes, in reference to two different banded cornuti. Distribution. China (Chongqing, Hunan, Guangxi, Guangdong).
