Distribution : Mexico . Material examined . HOLOTYPE , 1 3 Mexico : Oaxaca : Putla de Guerrero, [ 17°02'N97°56'W ], 02/IX/ 1990 , R. Baranowky leg., ( MZLU ). Measurements . As in Table 4 . Remarks. It superficially resembles R. flavicans but can be differentiated by the lack of inverted “V” coloration pattern on posterior lobe of pronotum, and genitalia traits. Etymology . Named for Dr. Harry Brailovsky, in honor of his contributions to the study of Heteroptera in Mexico . MAP 2.
