Identification.
Specimens examined belong to the
elegans
group
sensu
Polhemus (1997)
based on the pronotum of the apterous form completely covering the mesonotum, posterolateral margins of male abdominal segment VII without black denticles, and posterior tibia of males and females with a crescent-shaped spur at the apex. Our individuals also display proctiger not prolonged posteriorly into a spine-like process and posterior femur with a single row of spines, which lead to the identification as
R. elegans
(
Polhemus 1997
)
.
