(Plate 3, Figs 7, 8; gen. figs 21, 22)
Holotype. Male, Indonesia, Sumatra, Prapat, HW 2, 15–19.V.1985, leg. Dr Diehl, slide No.: LGN 2567 (coll. HNHM). Paratypes. Indonesia, Sumatra. 1 female, from the same locality as the holotype, but collected at 26.V.1985, slide No.: LGN 2214 (coll. HNHM); 1 female, HW II, 28 km S Pematang Siantar, near Tigadoluk, 1050 m, 02°45’52”N, 099°58’20”E, 10.II.2002, leg. K. Larsen & M. Fibiger, slide No.: LGN 1654 (coll. ZMUC); 1 male, Dolok Merangir, 180 m, 6.X.- 5.XI.1970, leg. Dr. E. Diehl, slide No.: LGN 2157 (coll. SMNK).
Diagnosis. The closest relative of the new species is H. tarkabarka (László, Ronkay & Witt, 2010) (Plate 4, Figs 1, 2), despite the large differences in size (wingspan of H. micra and H. tarkabarka are 13–14 mm and 18–19 mm, respectively) and wing pattern. Their sister species relationship is indicated by the genitalia characters in both sexes (gen. figs 21–24), with a number of distinctive features which are as follows: The new species has, in comparison with H. tarkabarka, somewhat thicker uncus, less dilated tegumen, considerably longer, apically more dilated dorsal, and basally much broader ventral lobe of valva, much thinner, more curved harpe and considerably longer vinculum, while the aedeagi and vesicae of the two related species are practically identical.
In the female genitalia, the new species has considerably shorter and thinner apophyses, narrower, ovoid ostium bursae (that of M. tarkabarka is broad U-shaped) and shorter ductus bursae, and a conspicuous quadrangular dilatation at cervix bursae (which is absent in M. tarkabarka). In addition, the configuration of the conspicuous, thorn-like pair of signa is different in the two species: the signa of H. micra are considerably smaller, armed with thinner, more stick-like processes, and the distal one is larger than proximal one, while the signa are larger, broader, more triangular in M. tarkabarka, and the proximal one is bigger than the distal one.
