Redescription. — General coloration brown and light brown. Head: brown except clypeus, gena, buccula and postocular region, these dark brown laterally in some specimens; antennifer spines light brown; eyes not surpassing margins of head; antenna I and II brown except apically, this darker; III and IV brown, intersegmental joint yellowish; rostrum I and II light brown; III brown. Pronotum: brown with a broad middle longitudinal light brown band beginning in collar and ending in posterior margin of posterior lobe; anterior lobe; submedian carina from anterior margin of posterior lobe to less than half length of posterior lobe; posterior lobe with an inverted “V” brown or dark brown coloration pattern beginning in anterior margin and reaching each humeral and discal spines ( Fig. 3 G); humeral and discal spines light brown. Scutellum: principal body brown basally and light brown toward apex; posterior process light brown, acute and flat. Pleura: propleura dark brown, acetabulum light brown; mesopleura dark brown except superior and inferior margins, these light brown; metapleura dark brown except superior and inferior margin, these lighter. Legs: fore coxae brown with a dark brown spot dorsally; mid-, and hind coxae brown; trochanters brown; femora brown, apically dark brown; tibiae brown, not homogeneously pigmented with dark brown; tarsus brown except distally dark brown. Abdomen: connexival segments: brown; segments II–VI armed with short spines at their outer apical angles, being V and VI longer than basal spines; urosternites brown with a dark brown band pattern laterally in middle covering segments I–IX ( Fig. 6 L). Macropterous form dark brown. Hemelytra: corium and clavus dark brown; hemelytron longer than abdomen; membrane hyalinebrownish. Distribution : Guyana . TABLE 18 .

It superficially resembles R. ecuadorensis sp. nov. , but can be differentiated by connexival spines in segments II–VII and urosternites with a lateral band pattern.
