The shape is the same as that of R. siculus Can. 



The dorsal side is thickly clothed with sharp bristles (PI. 2, fig. 28.), which

 the usual ones which are very closely set, and on the dorsal side others, which are 

 longer and more or less perpendicular. The genital aperture very long, more than 

 three times as long as the anal aperture.
