paratype
, same data, deposited in

.
DIAGNOSIS: Females resemble those of
R. napo
in having lateral expansions on the tip of the anterior genitalic process, but the process is narrower than in that species (
figs. 379, 380
). Compared to the sympatric species
R. tandapi
, these animals have much smaller eyes (
fig. 375
), and the sternal setae are concentrated on the sides of the sternum (
figs. 373, 374
).
MALE: Unknown.
FEMALE (PBI_OON 51319,
figs. 373–380
): Total length 1.63. Surface of elevated portion of pars cephalica smooth. Eyes two; ALE touching. Sternum with anterior channels, surface smooth, microsculpture absent; setae densest laterally. Labium anterior margin deeply incised. Anterior genitalic process with short, cap-shaped tip bearing lateral expansions.
