Remarks.

The eighteen specimens examined of R. subsignatus come from Mongolia and also from China, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region. The four males and 11 females from China differ somewhat from the three females from Mongolia, which share with the holotype slender, subparallel-sided, semi-erect elytral setae, while material from Mongolia has wider, subspatulate, semi-appressed elytral setae. Mongolian and Chinese specimens are almost identical in all other characters thus we assume the shape of elytral setae is a variable character of the species. This is the first record of R. subsignatus from China (Fig. 52).
