Redescription. — General coloration dark brown and light brown. Head: anteocular, postocular region, interocular sulcus, antennifer spines and neck dark brown, almost black, except clypeus, this dark brown; eyes surpassing inferior margin of head; antenna I and II dark brown; rostrum I brown basally, near middle, light brown apically; II light brown; III brown. Pronotum: anterior lobe, anterolateral angles and collar dark brown, almost black; submedian carina reaching half of posterior lobe; posterior lobe yellowish except posterior margin and insertion of discal spines, these dark brown. Scutellum: dark brown; posterior process long, acute and rounded. Pleura: dark brown, almost black; prosterna dark brown, almost black. Legs: coxae and trochanters dark brown, almost black, femora brown; tibiae brown; tarsus dark brown. Abdomen: connexival segments: light brown; unarmed; urosternites light brown and darker at edges, near connexival suture brown. Macropterous form: brown. Hemelytra: corium and clavus dark brown, almost black; hemelytron 1.60 mm longer than abdomen; membrane hyalinebrownish. Female genitalia: posterior view: as in ( Fig. 11 View FIGURE 11 A). Gonocoxite VIII: without pilosity, anterior fibula slightly curved and wide basally ( Fig. 12 View FIGURE 12 A). Gonapophysis VIII: without hairs ( Fig. 12 View FIGURE 12 A). Gonocoxite IX: without hairs and wide basally ( Fig. 13 View FIGURE 13 A).

Distribution: Brazil.

Material examined. Brazil: 1 Ƥ Pará: Belem, [1°27'S – 48°30'W], ( ZSM).

Measurements. As in Table 1.

Female N=1 Max Total length 10.9 Head length 1.50 Head width 1.10 Anteocular region 0.45 Postocular region 0.35 Interocular region 0.50 Interocellar region 0.25 Pronotum length 1.95 Pronotum width 2.05 Scutellum length 0.50 Scutellum width 0.55 Scutellum posterior process length 0.37 Abdomen width 1.80 Eye length 0.55 Eye width 0.35 Eye height 0.60 Antennal segment 1 4.45 Antennal segment 2 1.45 Antennal segment 3 -

Antennal segment 4 -

Rostral segment 1 0.95 Rostral segment 2 0.80 Rostral segment 3 0.35 Head spines length 0.15 Posterior lobe of pronotum discal spines length 0.95 Posterior lobe of pronotum humeral spines length 0.55 Distance between head spines 0.50 Distance between discal spines 1.20 Distance between discal/humeral spines 1.15 Remarks. It superficially resembles R. lepidula and R. nigrospinosa sp. nov., but can be differentiated by the posterior lobe of pronotum, yellowish, the unarmed connexival segments, and genitalia traits. This species is confirmed from Brazil.
