N: 1

(517) F: 0,9-0,84; M: 0,82-0,77; {F: 0,84-0,90; M: 0,77-0,82}
Rem.: This species resembles R. marki, but can be separated by different characters: position of the copulatory pore on the genital segment, the shape of the distomedial corner of the 2nd (proximal) endopodal segment of the female P5, and so on (see Ferrari, 1995, p.196).
