Etymology.
Epithet, a noun in apposition, is taken from
type
locality.
Diagnosis.
Among the species of the genus, the male of
R. barbado
sp. nov.
is most similar to that of
R. otti
sp. nov.
, as it has an elongated and flattened embolus, almost parallel to the longitudinal axis, with a fold at the most apical region (compare
Figs 7A, 7C
). The male of
R. barbado
sp. nov.
can be distinguished by the membranous lamella on the prolateral side of the embolus (
Fig. 7A
; smooth embolus in
S. otti
sp. nov.
,

).
