terior margins is subrect angular; the junctiore of the posterior 

 and inner margin forms a very slight, rovmded protrusion; and 

 the inner margin is posteriorly slightly convex and sinuous, 

 anteriorly narrowing, and slightly concave. The accessory shields 

 are short, not heavily thickened, and do not extend beyond the 

 outer margin of the adanal shields. The basis capituli dorsally 

 is about twice as wide as long and \d.th at least two punctations, 

 lateral margins widest at anterior third, comua broadly rounded. 

 The hypostome has 3/3 dentition in files of nine to eleven den- 

 ticles. PaJ-pi are slightly longer than wide, flat dorsally. 

 Coxa I has a distinct, dorsally-projecting process. 



Note: In the very anterior position of the eyes, the spec- 

 imen described and illustrated by Rousselot (1953B) conforms more 

 closely to the original description of R. longicoxattis than do 

 o\ir specimens. ~ 



Female ; The scutum is short and wide, with length not quite 

 equalling width. Although Neumann originally described it as 

 longer than wide, this is not true of the only available para- 

 type specimen (cf. Hoogstraal 1953D). The posterior margin is 

 broadly rotinded. Lateral grooves are absent or slightly indi- 

 cated posteriorly; cervical grooves are deep basally, distally 

 superficial, and extend almost to the eyes or slightly beyond 

 the eyes. Scutal punctations are variable in number but few, 

 fine, and distant with very few, almost obsolete interstitials. 

 The eyes are flat and on or very slightly renoved from the 

 lateral margin.
