( Figs. 35, 36)

Etymology. As stated by the authors, the species name is a Latin adjective (obaeratus, -a, -um = in debt).

Type material. Holotype ♂ (not examined), TAIWAN, Huesun , Nantou Hsien, 5.IX.1987, S.C. Tsaur ( NCHU).

Distribution. Taiwan

Diagnosis. The description and illustrations by the authors indicate very close similarities to R. formosana Matsumura and R. satsumana Matsumura , both from the same region. The main difference to these species appears to be the ring-shaped mark on the hindwings and the shape of the veins around this mark.
