Remarks.

This species is similar to R. epispina sp. nov., but can be distinguished by the posterially directed propodeal spines and short petiolar peduncle.

Luo and Guénard (2016) mentioned that " In full face view, head rectangular in shape, slightly wider than long (CI 85)" in the description of a single queen. However, the CI index and their image (fig. 10B) suggest that the queen has a longer head. The R. stenoceps queen is similar to the R. epispina sp. nov. queen, but can be distinguished by the downcurved propodeal spine and short petiolar peduncle.
