Newton, 542 Dh, FMNH # 73-1120 Field Museum N. H. / Rendas. sp.? det. Newton, 1993” ( FMNH).   Description.Total length 15.8 mm. Body black, shining with antennomeres 4–11, mouthparts, tibiae, tarsi, posterior border of pregenital and genital segments reddish brown.  Head. Ovally elongate (similar to Fig. 17), 1.27x as long as wide; slightly convex dorsally and ventrally; very dense umbilicate punctures on dorsal surface; moderately dense umbilicate punctures on ventral surface separated by 2–3x their width ( Fig. 23), unevenly distributed; temple convex ( Fig. 27); eyes 0.3x as long as head, interocular distance 0.69x cephalic width; first antennomere 1.59x as long as antennomeres 2–3 combined, apical antennomere 0.9x as long as antennomeres 9–10 combined; labrum slightly bilobed ( Fig. 54); with mandibular external channel; apical maxillary palpomere conical ( Fig. 40), as long as preapical palpomere; apical labial palpomere asymmetrically conical ( Fig. 45), 1.5x as long as preapical palpomere.  Thorax. Pronotum 1.38x as long as wide; 1.07x cephalic width; with dense fine punctures, except for wide longitudinal impunctate area; with depressed area moderately visible at each side of posterior third ( Fig. 51). Elytra as long as pronotum, with fine setae as dense as those on pronotum and sparser than on head and abdomen. Prosternum has fine and sparse setae; setae on meso and metasternum similar.  Abdomen. Covered with fine setae denser than that on head, pronotum and elytra.  Aedeagus. Ovally elongate, with base of median lobe widened; total length 3.75 mm; asymmetrical parameres, left longer than right; left paramere 0.27x as long as median lobe; apical area of median lobe 0.22x total length of median lobe; internal sac with sclerotized structures ( Fig. 86).  Variation.Unknown.  Comparison.  Renda raulmunizican be confused with several species of the “minor” group but it can be distinguished by the ovally elongate head, red tibiae and tarsi, the pronotum with a depressed area at each side of the posterior third, as well as the large aedeagus, with asymmetrical parameres and characteristic internal sac.   Etymology.I take pleasure in dedicating the name of this species to Raúl Muñiz Velez, recently passed away; he was an excellent teacher and friend, and a good example in my life.  Geographical distribution.  Mexico(known only from the typelocality).     3´.
