Measurements
. As in

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

Mexico
