(Figs. 1. A–D, 2A–F)
.
Description. Coloration. Vertex yellowish, covered with dark brown reticulation, two light brown spots between eyes; eye grey with brown medial transverse stripe (Fig. 1C). Face black (Fig. 1D). Pronotum with light brown stripe on anterior margin. Scutellum yellowish with thin transverse black line in middle flanked by white spots (Fig. 1C). Tegmina with dense and dark brown reticulations (Fig. 1A).
Morphology. Head declivous, including eyes nearly as broad as pronotum; ocelli on crown, between eyes with their distance about 5.0 times than that of ocellus to adjacent eye (Figs. 1B, C). Postclypeus flat; anteclypeus ridged medially, lateral margins slightly convex, truncate at apex (Fig. 1D). Scutellum 0.75 times as long as pronotum (Fig. 1C). Fore femur with short dorsal setae, IC row comprising 13 setae. Fore tibia with 8 setae on PD row, 6 on AD row, 17 on PV row, 25 on AV row. Hind femur macrosetal formula 2+2+1. Hind tibia with 20 macrosetae on PD row, 10 on AD row, 12 on AV row.
Male genitalia. Pygophore longer than high, with numerous short macrosetae near posterior margin (Fig. 2A). Valve triangular. Subgenital plate extending beyond apex of pygofer, nearly triangular, with several short setae near the lateral margin and a row of moderately long macrosetae near apex (Fig. 2B). Connective ‘Y’ shaped; stem slightly longer than anterior arms (Fig. 2D). Style with developed preapical lobe, apical apophysis pointed, fingerlike, curved laterally; preapical lobe with several setae near inner margin (Fig. 2C). Aedeagus flask-like in posterior view; shaft slender with nearly parallel lateral margins and rounded apex in posterior view, with pair of basal tuberculate processes extended dorsolateral; gonopore apical (Figs. 2E, F).
Measurement. Length of male including tegmen: 3.8–4.0 mm.
Material examined. Holotype ♂ (NWAFU), CHINA, Guangxi, Napo County, 7 August 2013, coll. Xue Qin- gquan; Paratypes: 1♂ (NWAFU), same data as holotype; 1♂ (NWAFU), CHINA, Hainan Prov., Wuzhishan, 7 July 2008, coll. Lu Lin.
Remarks. This species resembles R. citrana Cheng & Li but differs in the male pygofer side without a process on the lateral margin; and the aedeagus flask-like in posterior view, its shaft with a rounded apex and pair of basal tuberculate processes extended dorsolaterad.
Etymology. This new specific epithet is a Latin word “ lageniformia ” referring to the flask-like aedeagus in posterior view.
