Description. — General coloration brown and light brown. Head: brown; eyes surpassing inferior margin of head; antenna I–III light brown; rostrum I brown; II light brown; III dark brown. Pronotum: anterior lobe brown; submedian carina beginning in middle of anterior lobe and ending less than half length of posterior lobe; posterior lobe brown with a light brown broad longitudinal middle band pattern from collar to posterior margin. Scutellum: light brown; posterior process short, acuminate, and flat. Pleura: brown; pro-, meso-, and metasterna brown. Legs: coxae and trochanters brown; femora light brown; fore tibiae light brown, apically darker; mid-, and hind tibiae light brown; tarsus light brown basally and brown toward apex. Abdomen: connexival segments: brown; unarmed; urosternites brown not homogeneously pigmented with light brown. Macropterous form: brown. Hemelytra: corium and clavus brown; hemelytron 1.08 mm longer than abdomen; membrane hyaline-brownish. Male genitalia: pygophore: globose, longer than wide, median process developed, quadrangular ( Fig. 8 View FIGURE 8 D), parameres: short, slightly curved, brown medially to distally with few short hairs ventrally ( Fig. 9 View FIGURE 9 D). Phallus: articulatory apparatus short, square, basal plates bridge short and thin, pedicel thin ( Fig. 10 View FIGURE 10 D).
Distribution: Brazil.
Material examined. HOLOTYPE, 1 3 Brazil: Santa Catarina: Nova Teutonia, [27°03'S – 52°24'W], 27/II/ 1945, J.M. Bérenger det. as Repipta sp. PARATYPE, 1 3 Santa Catarina: Nova Teutonia, [27°03'S – 52°24'W], 18/IV/1954, J.M. Bérenger det. as Repipta sp., ( ZSM).
Measurements. As in Table 5 View TABLE 5 .
Remarks. It superficially resembles R. flavicans and R. schaeferi sp. nov., but can be distinguished by the lack of inverted “V” coloration pattern on posterior lobe of pronotum (vs. R. flavicans ) and spines on antennifer not curved (vs. R. flavicans and R. schaeferi ).
Etymology. Named to indicate its distribution in Brazil.

Redescription. — General coloration red and brown. Head: red or brown in some specimens except labrum and anteclypeus, these dark brown; gena brown; eyes not surpassing margins of head; antenna I and II brown; rostrum I red except intersegmental line, this brown or brown pigmented with red in some specimens; II brown or red basally and brown distally in some specimens; III brown, all with a ventral longitudinal brown line. Pronotum: anterior lobe red or brown in some specimens; anterolateral angles red or dark brown in some specimens; collar dark brown; submedian carina reaching less than half length of posterior lobe; posterior lobe red or red pigmented with brown in some specimens; discal and humeral spines yellowish. Scutellum: red or brown pigmented with red in some specimens; posterior process brown, short, acuminate and rounded. Pleura: red or red pigmented with light brown in some specimens; pro-, meso-, and metasterna red pigmented with brown or red in some specimens. Legs: coxae and trochanters red or brown pigmented with red in some specimens; femora brown; fore femur dark brown apically in some specimens; tibiae brown, in some specimens red or brown basally and light brown apically; tarsus brown. Abdomen: connexival segments: brown pigmented with red; unarmed; urosternites light brown pigmented with red or urosternite VII dark brown in some specimens. Macropterous form: red. Hemelytra: corium red, clavus brown; hemelytron 2.64 mm longer than abdomen; membrane hyaline-brownish. Female genitalia: Posterior view: as in ( Fig. 11 View FIGURE 11 D). Gonocoxite VIII: sparse thick hairs, anterior fibula curved, widened throughout ( Fig. 12 View FIGURE 12 D) Gonapophysis VIII: ventrally with few thin hairs ( Fig. 12 View FIGURE 12 D). Gonocoxite IX: ventrally with abundant thin hairs, wide basally ( Fig. 13 View FIGURE 13 D).
Distribution: Brazil, Colombia.
Material examined. Brazil: 1 Ƥ [14°01'S – 50°58'W], J.C. Elkins det; Colombia: 2 Ƥ Bogotá, [4°35'N – 74°04'W], J.C. Elkins det., ( SMNH).
Measurements. As in Table 6 View TABLE 6 .
Remarks. In the first record from Colombia, R. coccinea is very similar to R. obscuripes , but can be differentiated by its brown mid-, and hind femora, yellowish discal and humeral spines, wider abdomen, and genitalia traits.
