Apologies for bumping a very old thread and for not thanking Jorge and Tony T for their replies.

I was reminded of this specimen after reading a recent reply by Theo mentioning "the exclusively golden hairs on reddish markings" of H.distinguenda. That certainly applies here but what puzzled me was the fact that the first antennal segment appears partly pale and the front femora have entirely pale posterior hairs (neither obvious in these pictures).
Using the first edition of Stubbs and Drake therefore leads to H.ciureai.

I have other, typical specimens of these 2 species but this one seems to share characteristics of both. So which is it?
