Remarks
The species treatments of H. anomalipes in Townes (1977) and Van Achterberg (2006) are still complete and valid and are, therefore, not repeated here. All three examined and DNA barcoded specimens herein are morphologically very similar and key to H. anomalipes using Van Achterberg (2006). The comparatively robust and sub-basally swollen petiole in combination with the absence of pronounced coarse reticulation on head and mesosoma (cf. Helorus nigripes, below) is very distinctive (Fig. 3). In the molecular analysis, the sequences form a distinct cluster. In summary, this species had already been well described and diagnosed and results herein corroborate this.
