Hah. Pretoria. 



Separated from any of its allies by the entirely testaceous 

 uniform coloration and by the impunctate head and thorax ; 

 the shape of this insect is less broad and the thorax less 

 transverse than in many other species of this genus, notably 

 R. variabilis^ Har., but the structural characters are the same.
