Diagnosis. H. coriacea can be readily distinguished from others species by the pronotum surface opaque, completely covered by dense microgranulation, ocellate microtubercles and small setae (Figs 12, 20, 21).
Endophallus: Lateral lobe of A+SA sclerites with apex bowed (Fig. 38). Horseshoe-shaped sclerite curved with a shorter “arm” strongly expanded at inner margin, claviform (Fig. 41, arrow).
Description. Length. 7.4–9.6 mm. Head. Dark brown with reddish or greenish sheen. Surface around eye, in dorsal view, with yellowish or greenish sheen; shiny surface extends by approximately one-half of eye width in dorsal view. Pronotum. Margin between lateral and posterior angles approximately straight. Disc dark brown, with reddish and silky sheen (Figs 20, 21). Pronotum surface completely covered by dense microgranulation and ocellate microtubercles; short setae homogeneously distributed on surface (Figs 20, 21). Elytra. Brown with smooth reddish sheen. Anterior portion of seventh elytral stria with inconspicuous elevation. Seventh and eighth striae inconspicuous on basal fourth of elytra. Eighth stria narrower on anterior portion of elytra. Abdomen. Disc of pygidium with shiny, sparse and irregular microtubercles. Secondary sexual characters. Besides the sexual dimorphism mentioned to the genus, we can find no significant difference between males and females of this species. Aedeagus. [Lateral view]—parameres symmetric, rectangular in shape, with two-thirds of the phallobase length (Fig. 44). Apex of parameres, between apical and dorsal margins, with rectangular projection as wide as long. Inner angle between apical and dorsal margins with approximately 90°. Inner angle between apical and ventral margins with approximately 55°. [Ventral view]—inner margin at apical third of parameres with lobe as wide as long; lobes almost touching (Fig. 42). [Dorsal view]—Inner margin of parameres clearly convergent at apex (Fig. 43). Endophallus: FLP sclerite irregular, about two-thirds of A+SA length (Fig. 39). SRP sclerite circular, with conspicuous lobe projected outward (Fig. 40).
