Description. — General coloration red, brown and light brown. Head: red except labrum, anteclypeus and gena, these brown or yellowish in some specimens; eyes surpassing inferior margin ( Fig. 6 View FIGURE 6 J); antenna I and II brown; III dark brown, thickened basally and reduced gradually toward apex; rostrum I red, intersegmental line brown; II red basally and light brown distally or completely brown in some specimens; III light brown, all with a ventral longitudinal brown line. Pronotum: anterior and posterior lobe red or red pigmented with brown in some specimens; anterolateral angles and collar red or brown in some specimens; submedian carina reaching less than half length of posterior lobe. Scutellum: principal body and posterior process red, brown or yellowish in some specimens; posterior process acuminate and flat. Pleura: red or red with yellow in some specimens; pro-, meso-, and mestasterna red or brown in some specimens. Legs: coxae red, intersegmental line brown or pale, trochanters red, fore femora red basally and brown toward apex; mid- femora red or brown in some specimens; hind femora red, brown or dark brown in some specimens (if dark brown, apex red-colored); fore-, and mid- tibiae brown or yellowish in some specimens (if yellowish, apex red-colored), hind tibiae yellowish, brown or dark brown in some specimens (in latter case, apically red); tarsus light brown or brown in some specimens. Abdomen: connexival segments and urosternites: red, red pigmented with brown or yellow in some specimens; unarmed. Macropterous form: red or brown in some specimens. Hemelytra: corium and clavus red or light brown basally and distally red before membrane in some specimens; hemelytron 2.28–2.88 mm longer than abdomen; membrane hyaline. Male genitalia: pygophore: subglobose, slightly longer than wide, median process developed acute, lateral median process acute reaching middle of median process ( Fig. 8 View FIGURE 8 I), parameres: medium long, thick and curved with abundant long hairs ventrally and externally ( Fig. 9 View FIGURE 9 I). Phallus: articulatory apparatus, long, quadrangular, basal plate bridge short and wide, pedicel very wide ( Fig. 10 View FIGURE 10 I).

Remarks. It superficially resembles R. coccinea and R. obscuripes but can be differentiated by its slender body, red coloration of entire body, and genitalia traits.

Etymology. Named for its red body coloration.
