The species can be distinguished from R. heptoma or R. villosa by the long and narrow marginal cell, elongate antennae and more strongly sculptured scutellum, and from R strobigena or R. koponeni by the long and narrow marginal cell, the medial bridge on the pronotal plate and the smaller eyes. Specimens show considerable variation in size of female flagellomeres, height of scutellum and sculpture of the dorsal scutellar surface. It is possible that future molecular studies or analysis of additional material will reveal that the species as conceived here can be split into two or more distinct species.</p> <p>Description</p> <p>Compound eyes and ocelli small. Female antenna 0.8–0.9× body length, 13-segmented, scape, pedicel and first three flagellomeres light brown, flagellomeres 4–13 brown. Flagellomeres subequal in size. Indistinct club of 8 articles, bearing rhinaria, not much wider than pre-club flagellomeres. Male antennae approximately 1.6× body length. Flagellomeres elongate, brown, F1 and F2 sometimes lighter. F2 moderately bent, forming a weak ‘S’ shape when viewed from above. F2 from 1.5 to almost 2 times the length of F1.</p> <p>Mesonotum smooth, with a few scattered setae, weakly arched. Pronotal plate with lateral bridges, foveae large and separated by a medial bridge (Figure 2a). Lateral aspect of pronotum with a few scattered setae. Scutellar plate drop-shaped (Figure 6a), sometimes more elongate, surface flat, with a large posterior glandular pit and small setal pits anteriorly, a few scattered setae. Scutellar foveae of normal size and depth, sometimes more shallow. Lateral bars sometimes with a few striae basally. Dorsal scutellar surface with ridges forming a reticulate pattern, more or less radiating from scutellar plate. Dorsal surface with a line of setae along its rim, separated from lateral surface by a carina. Lateral surface mostly smooth, with a few ridges. Scutellum rather short. Mesopleural line present as a ridge. Metapleura glabrous, except for 2 or 3 long setae on dorsal region. Anteroventral cavity present, round (Figure 1a), filled with hair. Posterior margin straight, with a few weak ridges running anterodorsally. Posterior incision of metapleura absent.</p> <p>Propodeum pubescent laterally, with tuft of hair above metapleural ventral callus. Propodeal carinae straight, converging dorsally.</p> <p>Metasoma darker on its dorsal portion, in females often much lighter ventrally, with a yellowish or reddish tinge. Hairy ring with a small dorsal opening, dense, especially in females.</p> <p>Legs yellow or light brown.

The species is most similar to R. ru fi ventris, from which it can be separated by the distinct round incision on the posterior metapleural margin.</p> <p>Description</p> <p>Female antennae approximately 0.8× body size, 13-segmented, scape and pedicel yellow or light brown, flagellomeres gradually darker until brown. Indistinct club of 6 segments, rhinaria sometimes hard to distinguish. Male antenna 15-segmented with scape and pedicel yellow or light brown, flagellomeres brown, rather slender. Second flagellomere modified, not much longer than third, weakly curved. Compound eyes and ocelli small.</p> <p>Mesonotum smooth, with a few scattered setae, weakly arched. Pronotal plate with lateral bridges, foveae confluent in the middle forming a transverse furrow (Figure 2d).</p> <p>Scutellar plate elongate, eliptical. Dorsal surface flat, with a distinct margin, a few scattered setae and a relatively small posterior glandular pit. Scutellar foveae narrow, shallow (Figure 6d). Lateral bars smooth. Dorsal scutellar surface smooth anteriorly and with light striation posteriorly. Dorsal surface with a line of setae along its rim, separated from lateral surface by a carina. Lateral surface smooth. Scutellum very short, sloping posteriorly.</p> <p>Mesopleural line present. Lateral surface of metapleura smooth, glabrous, except for 2 or 3 long setae on dorsal region. Anteroventral cavity absent. Posterior incision of metapleura present (Figure 1d). Area around the incision sometimes more depressed than remainder of metapleura.</p> <p>Propodeum more or less pubescent laterally, tuft of hair behind posteroventral metapleural cavity. Propodeal carinae slightly converging dorsally, sometimes weakly arched.</p> <p>Metasoma with a rufous tinge anteroventrally.
