This is very similar to R. bimaculipes and R. purpurata, but differs from both in 

 having narrow instead of broad and flat scales on the prothoracic lobes. A female 

 has recently been received through the Imperial Bureau of Entomology, named by 

 Mr. G. F. Hill after comparison with Taylor's type ; it shows the long proboscis 

 characteristic of the genus. In all these three Australasian species the palpi are 

 shorter than in the Oriental forms, exceeding the clypeus b}' hardly more than the 

 length of the latter.
