From R. (R.) ostcusackciii Skusei*"' (Australia) it dif- 

 fers in the much greater length of the antennae which is here 

 more than four times as long as the body, in ostensackeni not 

 quite twice as long. From the members of the subgenus 

 Sacandaga, it differs in the elongate male antennae. The dis- 

 covery of a member of this subgenus in the New World is of 

 exceptional interest.
