MATERIAL EXAMINED: CULSP; TURKEY. 1 Ƌ; Nur Daglari Mts. , 20 km N Antakya, Akbez, 500 m; 5.v.1996 ; leg. B. Mocek. - 1 ♀; 20 km W Antakya, Cevlik , undeciduous forest; 3.v.1996 ; leg. B. Mocek. We decided not to name this species because of limited and damaged material at hand.

DESCRIPTION: A species of the R. (Holoclera) nigripennis group with dark palpus, uniserial dorsocentrals, yellow fore coxae, female frons microtrichose, mesoscutum in male specimen damaged (supraalar seta probably present). Male genitalia of the species ( Fig. 8 ) similar to those of R.­ trigemina Oldenberg ( Fig. 9 ). However, both phallus and phallic plate are shorter and both epandrium and hypandrium shorter setose in R. sp. 2 than in R.­ trigemina . There are also differences in the shape of cercus. The female is very similar to R.­ tenuipes and R.­ lamellata .
