( Figs. 12–13 View FIGURE 12 View FIGURE 13 )
Diagnosis. Legs and thorax reddish brown, tomentum predominantly cinereous, almost silvery, giving to this species a whitish appearance. Male terminalia shining brownish; epandrium thin, its apex pointing down ( Fig. 12B View FIGURE 12 ); phallus narrow, and ejaculatory apodeme quite large ( Fig. 12D View FIGURE 12 ).
Description of male holotype. ( Fig. 12A View FIGURE 12 ). Lengths. Body: 15 mm; wing: 9 mm.
Head. Antenna dark brown, scape and pedicel black setose, though some whitish setae are present dorsally; postpedicel similar in length to scape and pedicel together, about 10 times as long as first article of antennal stylus and about 1.3 times the length of second article; face, frons and vertex cinereous tomentose; ocellar setae black, no longer than length of scape and pedicel together; mystacal macrosetae black in the upper face and pale yellowish bellow; proboscis, labium and palpus whitish setose; postocular macrosetae black above, pale yellowish bellow; occiput cinereous tomentose, white setose. Thorax. Dark brown, fully covered with cinereous tomentum, except for the dark paramedial and lateral stripes on mesonotum. Chaetotaxy: Pronotum yellowish setose with some pale and weak macrosetae on antepronotum; postpronotal lobe whitish setose; mesonotum with black macrosetae, 2 notopleural, 1 supra-alar (alongside with a few short setae) and 1 postalar; dorsocentral and acrostichal setae black, short anteriorly and becoming longer posterior to transverse suture; scutellar disc white setose, 2 apical scutellar black macrosetae; uppermost portion of anepisternum and katepisternum whitish setose; katatergal macrosetae pale yellowish. Wing. Similar to R. apu sp. nov., halter yellowish. Leg. Coxae black, cinereous tomentose; femora mainly brownish, base reddish brown, concolorous with tibiae and tarsi, though these become darker at apex; empodia and claws dark brown, pulvilli yellowish. Chaetotaxy: Coxae and femora whitish setose; femora mainly with white macrosetae, some on tibiae; mid femur with 5–6 anteroventral and 3 anterior; hind femur with 3–4 anterior, 10–12 anteroventral, 5–6 posteroventral, most of them pale and weak, and dorsally 1 subapical on each side; fore tibia with 1 dorsal, basal, 4 posterodorsal, and 3 posteroventral, quite long; mid tibia with 1 anterodorsal, 2 dorsal, 3 posterior, 1–2 posteroventral and 2 anteroventral; hind tibia with 1 dorsal, 2 anterodorsal, 3 posterodorsal and 2 anteroventral. Abdomen. Dark brown, subshining, cinereous tomentose on sides and extending to posterior margins of tergites, white setose, setae longer laterally; sternites fully cinereous tomentose and white setose, except sternite 8, with an apical band of long black macrosetae. Terminalia ( Figs. 12 View FIGURE 12 B–C). Shining brown; epandrium elongate and thin, with a pointing-down apex, black long setae on base and whitish towards apex, with conspicuous spiny macrosetae on posterior margin present; hypandrium broad, long white setose, excision at posterior margin cuplike ( Fig. 12F View FIGURE 12 ); gonocoxite subtriangular with irregular apex and white long setae on external margin ( Fig. 12E View FIGURE 12 ); gonostylus curved upwards, usually visible in lateral view; phallus narrow, almost straight, the ejaculatory apodeme wide in lateral view, quite large, reaching the seventh segment ( Fig. 12D View FIGURE 12 ).
Female ( Fig. 13A View FIGURE 13 ). Similar to male, except terminalia ( Fig. 13B View FIGURE 13 ); spermathecae situated almost at base of seventh abdominal segment, strongly attenuated and coiled apically; common duct almost as long as arms of furca; expulsory ducts about 0.75 times the length of capsular ducts and a third the length of common duct ( Fig. 13C View FIGURE 13 ).
Etymology. A masculine noun in apposition, given to Illapa, the Inca god of thunder and rain, specially revered by people in times of drought.
Distribution ( Fig. 20B View FIGURE 20 ). Peru; Tayacaja, province in the Department of Huancavelica.
Holotype condition. Good. Detached terminalia placed in microvial with glycerin and pinned along with the specimen. As well as detached right wing.
