Comments.
The specimens resemble
R. fabianae
and
viscosae
in a short antenna, in a yellow forewing membrane, in a female proctiger with a convex, subapically strongly indented dorsal margin, and a subglobular subgenital plate. They differ from the two species in longer genal processes, and from
R. viscosae
in the presence of very dense surface spinules in all cells of the forewing membrane, leaving no spinule-free stripes along the veins.
