Is it possible to be sure of the species?

I would like to see femur 2, but this must be H. bigoti.
The first antennal segment is distinctly reddish near base.
Strong spots on abdomen.
Frontal stripe too narrow for ocelligera.

What was the habitat like ?

Thanks Theo. Here you have a photo of femur 2. It is yellowish in most of its length.

The habitat is a salt marsh. Here is a photo.

Thanks.

Yes, femur is reddish indeed and yes, this is salty.

100 % bigoti.
