Systematics: The adult female of H. uramanica is similar to that of H. rapax in having: (i) no perivulvar pores, and (ii) antennae each with a single seta, but differs in having (character-states for H. rapax in brackets) (i) 2 or 3 median ducts between median lobes (ducts between median lobes absent); and (ii) numerous dorsal submarginal and submedian macroducts, present in distinct groups on abdominal segments III and II (segments III and II with sparse ducts, scattered on submargins). (Moghaddam, 2021)
Structure: Slide-mounted adult female body pyriform to circular (0.72–0.92 mm long and 0.64–0.60 mm wide). Cuticle membranous, except for parts of pygidium. Antennae each with 1 long seta. Anterior and posterior spiracles each without associated disc pores. Pygidium with 3 pairs of lobes; median lobes (L1) well developed, each almost rectangular, with 1 or 2 notches at apex. Second lobes (L2) smaller than L1, dentate at apex. Third lobes (L3) reduced, each represented by a sclerotized prominence. Plates distinct, dentate at apex, never longer than a median lobe; plates numbering 2 between median lobes, 2 between L1 & L2 and 3 between L2 & L3; absent from margins lateral to third lobes. Anal opening located 0.82‒0.88 (0.88) times length of anal opening from base of median lobes, anal opening 17‒18 (18) μm long. Perivulvar pores absent. (Moghaddam, 2021)
