Description. — General coloration brown and light brown. Head: brown pigmented with red except labrum, this brown; eyes surpassing inferior margin of head; antenna I brown; II brown basally and dark brown toward apex; rostrum I brown pigmented with red; II and III light brown laterally, brown dorsally and ventrally. Pronotum: anterior lobe, anterolateral angles and collar brown pigmented with light brown; submedian carina beginning in middle of anterior lobe and ending less than half length of posterior lobe; anterior lobe with abundant short and long hairs laterally; posterior lobe brown, lighter in posterior margin. Scutellum: brown pigmented with red; posterior process long, acute and flat. Pleura: light brown pigmented with red; pro-, meso-, and metasterna light brown. Legs: coxae, trochanters and femora brown pigmented with red; tibiae light brown pigmented with red; tarsus brown. Abdomen: connexival segments: brown; unarmed; urosternites brown pigmented with red. Macropterous form: brown, external margins lighter. Hemelytra: corium and clavus brown, internal margins light brown; hemelytron 1.32 mm longer than abdomen; membrane hyaline-brownish. Male genitalia: pygophore globose, longer than wide, median process developed, quadrangular with abundant short hairs ( Fig. 8 View FIGURE 8 B), parameres short, curved with a few long hairs distally ( Fig. 9 View FIGURE 9 B). Phallus: articulatory apparatus quadrangular, basal plates bridge long and thin, pedicel wide ( Fig. 10 View FIGURE 10 B).

Distribution: Mexico.

Material examined. HOLOTYPE, 1 3 Mexico: Oaxaca: Putla de Guerrero, [17°02'N – 97°56'W], 02/IX/ 1990, R. Baranowky leg., ( MZLU).

Measurements. As in Table 4 View TABLE 4 .

Remarks. It superficially resembles R. flavicans but can be differentiated by the lack of inverted “V” coloration pattern on posterior lobe of pronotum, and genitalia traits.

Etymology. Named for Dr. Harry Brailovsky, in honor of his contributions to the study of Heteroptera in Mexico.
