Wings subhyaline; a brown stigmal spot; veins pale brownish yel- 
low. Venation (see Plate IX, figure 6) almost as in R (Sacandaga) 
flava Alex.15 but the cross-vein m, here, is much longer. 
Abdominal tergites yellowish brown, sternites paler, yellowish. 
Holotype, male, Coroico, Bolivia, in the Hungarian National 
Museum. 
From R. (R.) ostensackeni Skusel® (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.
