Diagnosis

The male genitalia (Fig. 2) of the observed specimens correspond well with the drawings by Malicky (2004). Right-angled truncated segment X in lateral view along with the inferior appendages with pointed apices and transversal band make it possible to easily distinguish this species and these specimens from closely-related Hydroptila simulans Mosely, 1920 .
