Medium-sized to large nemesiids with carapace length 6–8 mm. Eye tubercle relatively low, small. Chelicerae without mound and rastellum. Maxillae rectangular, unmodified. Numerous maxillary cuspules arranged in wide triangular area. Sternal sigilla moderately small, submarginal. In males, palpal tibia moderately long, cylindrical. Cymbium not shortened; palpal bulb with relatively small subtegulum; tegulum with short characteristic broadly-tipped embolus. Male legs long, but more stout than slender, without long modified hairs. Male tibia I with two retroventral megaspines more or less widely spaced. In males, genital area covered with numerous and large epiandrous fusillae. Two pairs of spinnerets: PMS relatively large, functional; PLS long with apical segment equal to basal or longer. Adult females are unknown.</p><p>Species included: R. redikorzevi (Spassky 1937) and R. caudata sp. n.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/FA5487E1FFB37D4FEC880F235F73FCEB	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

The difference in the coloration between both males is almost indistinct.</p><p>Etymology: The specific epithet is derived from Latin caudatus – long-tailed; it emphasizes the length of the PMS, which are unusually long for the congeners.</p><p>Distribution: South Tajikistan: foothills and low mountains surrounding and bordering Tajik depression.</p><p>Ecology: The species inhabits open low forest biotopes (Pistacea vera L., Acer spp., Amygdalus spp., Cercis griffithii Boiss.). Males were found under rocks, the only juvenile specimen was found, according to the original label data, inside a gerbil's burrow.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/FA5487E1FFB37D4CEC880DE359C0FC0E	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Coloration, eye ratio and arrangement, and shape of spinnerets do not differ principally from conspecific males. Configuration of spermathecae and other adult female characters remain unknown.</p><p>Variability: Carapace length in males varies from 6.25–8.20. In some specimens, independently of their size, the distal abdominal pattern may be noticeably darker and more contrasting than the most widespread variant (Fig. 2).</p><p>Distribution: South Turkmenistan: Badkhyz plateau, including its western mountainous border (Zulfagar Mts.).</p><p>Ecology: The species inhabits open low forest of Pistacea vera L. and mountainous steppes; wandering males occur under rocks. The subadult female and males collected by R.E. Zlotin (Research Institute of Geography, Russian Academy of Sciences, Moscow) were captured when he investigated burrows of gerbils and tortillas, at that one male was found inside a burrow 240 cm deep (Dr. Roman Zlotin, pers. com.).</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/FA5487E1FFB07D4BEC880A5F5E3DFD8D	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
