To recapitulate, R. maculatus takes priority, R. ecinctus falling into 
synonymy. R. maculatus $ Neumann, 1901 becomes a synonym of 
R. pulchellus $, and R. ecinctus $ Neumann, 1908 is a synonym of 
R. simus $. The true $ of R. maculatus is here described for the first 
time, and the ^ is re-described.
