Remarks

• Systematics: H. paranaensis is similar to E. mendozae (Morrison, 1919) and E. leguminicula (Morrison, 1919) in sharing groups of microtubular ducts on the dirsal segments, in having large pores on the posterior coxae and in the presence of numerous cruciform pores on venter. Howvr, H. paranansis differs from both of the latter two species in having the groups of microtubular ducts surrounded by macrotubular ducts on the dorsum. H. paranaensis also differs from E. mendozae in having only about 10 coxal pores whereas E. mendozae has more than 20 and H. paranaensis divvers from E. leguminicula in the absence of cruciform pores on posterior abdominal segments of the venter, in having frontal lobes (rather than frontal tubercles as on E. leguminicula), in the greater number of dorsal setae and in having only 5-locular disc pores (E. leguminicola has 4-, 5- and 8- locular disc pores). (Foldi & Kozár. 2007)
• Structure: Venter: Antennae seven segmented, frontal lobe, or tubercle present. Labium one segmented, basal segment of labium with two pairs of setae. Venter with macrotubular ducts of different sizes, five or multilocular pores numerous over all the survace. Legs long, tibia and tarsus about the same size. Coxae of median and posterior legs with spinulae, posterior coxae and femus harbor numerous big pores. microtubular ducts absent. Cruciform pores numercous along margin. Ventral setae hairlike, about half as long as the width of a segment. Dorsum: Spine=like setae present on whole surface. Anal lobes well developed, dorsal surface with 3-4 strong spines, ventral surface with 3-5 setae. Anal ring sclerotized, well developed, with eight setae twice longer than diameter of ring, few anal ring pores present. Cauda not developed. Macrotubular ducts narrow, long, the inner ducturle ends with a flower like, terminal gland. Microtubular ducts few, long, with oval, or bifurcate orifice forms large groups of several segments.
