Description

Diagnosis and remarks

Type of R. bispina from 1949 is destroyed or lost. Sivec et al. (2008) place this species in the R. magnicerca group, based on a series of specimens from Sichuan Province of southwest China. We also collected this species from the type locality and the morphological characteristics of the topotypes we collected agree with the redescription of Sivec et al. (2008). The hind area of the head has a lot of spots on hind part (Fig. 13 ). Hind border of tergum 9 with a band of knob-like ornamentation, two round sclerotized spots on the anterior margin. Tergum 10 bearing a central plate, the three elements of which are strongly sclerotized. The middle of anterior margin of transverse plates extend backwards with an irregular ornamentation (Fig. 13 ).

Type locality
