Web services use the SOAP protocol and the wsdl file in order to provide
anonymous third parties with information about the interface. So you
can easily consume a web service, without any other knowledge of the
service or documentation.
HTTPService is simpler, but to use an HTTPService source
HTTPService is good for doing standard HTTP GET/POST stuff...
Where as WebService can be used for SOAP, etc based webservices...

The simplest dinstinction is that one is SOAP and the other one is XML.
A SOAP interface, with its type safety and other such assurances
contrasts to plain old XML, which has the advantage of simplicity.

not quite that simple - not to confuse anyone further, but SOAP is
actually an XML-based protocol... :)

Yup! You can use HTTPService with backend-scripts that return text or
name-value pairs...You can even use it for SOAP but you would need to do
more work.
Where as WebService can easily be used with SOAP but expects right input and
result.
