We re-examined 18 out of 31 H. martii (Wagler, 1824) females and 36 out of 51 H. triangularis (Wagler, 1824) described as gravid in a previous study (Albuquerque and Camargo, 2004), and found that no female of H. martii and only four females of H. triangularis had oviductal eggs (see below). All the remaining specimens reported by Albuquerque and Camargo (2004) contained only enlarged ovarian follicles
