Remarks. Nine females from China (Inner Mongolia) have the spermatheca with a shorter ramus and more slender collum and nine spines at the protibial apex in comparison with previously known material, including the type specimens, of the species having only eight spines. Due to the lack of males of this population we currently retain it as conspecific with R. ignarus.
