No way is Trachycarpus martianus nearly as cold hardy as a Washingtonia... mine was defoliated completely this winter, and my neighbor's Washingtonias has no damage at all.  Rhapis humilis is probably less cold hardy, too, but not sure about that.  I seriously doubt Hyphaene petersiana is more cold hardy, either, but no personal experience with that one... the other Hyphaenes sure aren't.  To me, this is a very narrow zone, as I rarely see damage on Washingtonias without similar damage to P canariensis... I personally would rate them equal, with most of the plants listed hear as being less hardy than either.
