Description
Wise's original text (the type description) reads as follows:
HEAD fuscous; ANTENNAE fuscous. THORAX fuscous; LEGS dark ochreous. ANTERIOR WINGS dark testaceous. Length of anterior wing, 12 mm (0.47 in). Wise noted that the species could be distinguished from other Hydrobiosis species by the inner arm of each inferior appendage being much shorter than the outer arm, something not seen in H. umbripennis or H. parumbripennis.
Range & habitat
The species is endemic to New Zealand. Specimens have been collected from Mount Taranaki, Mount Ruapehu, and near Lake Waikaremoana.
