DIAGNOSIS: Members of this species resemble those of
R. chamela
and
R. armeria
in retaining the four posterior eyes. Males differ from those of
R.armeria
in having a much longer base subtending both the embolus and conductor, and from those of
R. chamela
in having that base wider (
figs. 157–160
). Females differ from those of
R. chamela
and
R. armeria
in having the posterior portion of the anterior genitalic process wider proximally than distally (
figs. 144, 145
).
MALE (PBI_OON 37321,
figs. 141
,
146–160
): Total length 1.03. Surface of elevated portion of pars cephalica finely reticulate. Eyes six; ALE touching. Sternum without anterior channels, surface finely reticulate, without pits, microsculpture only at sides; setae densest laterally. Labium anterior margin indented at middle. Endite tip with squared, anteromedially directed lobe. Embolus and conductor originating from long, wide common base; cymbium not fused with bulb.
FEMALE (PBI_OON 21105,
figs. 142–145
): Total length 1.15. Anterior genitalic process with long posterior portion wider posteriorly than anteriorly, short anterior portion greatly widened.
