Diagnosis.
The male genitalia of
R
.
viridicaput
,
R
.
subviridis
and
R
.
minimus
(
Inoue, 2003
) (
Palau
Islands), are quite different to those of
R
.
spiniseparati
(
Holloway, 1996
) (Peninsular
Malaysia
, Borneo) and
R
.
longicornuta
Inoue, 2006
(
Philippines
) on their relatively shorter juxtal processes. Additionally, the male eighth sternite bears two pairs of scobinate pointed processes in
R
.
viridicaput
and
R
.
subviridis
, but only one pair of processes in
R
.
minimus
. The juxtal processes are curved and broader in
R
.
subviridis
, but slightly tapering and straight in
R
.
viridicaput
. The cucullus is totally scobinate, but only scobinate at mesally in
R
.
subviridis
. The female genitalia are firstly described here as below. Female genitalia: The lamella postvaginalis is a sub-quadrate spinose area, with a denser central ridge extending anteriorly. The width of the ductus bursae is less than half the width of the oval corpus bursae. The signum is absent.
