Description. — General coloration red and dark brown. Head: red except labrum, this brown and antennifer spines, these dark brown; eyes not surpassing margins of head; antenna I and II brown; rostrum I red except intersegmental line brown; II red pigmented with brown; III brown. Pronotum: red except posterior lobe, this with two dark brown narrow bands, each one beginning in junction of anterior and posterior lobes and ending in discal spines (Fig. 1 I); humeral and discal spines brown; submedian carina not clearly visible; posterior margin of posterior lobe yellowish. Scutellum: principal body red; posterior process whitish, short, acuminate and rounded. Pleura: red; prosterna and mestasterna red, mesosterna with a dark brown irregular spot medially. Legs: coxae and trochanters red; femora light brown basally to medially and brown pigmented with red apically; tibiae light brown except apically, this red pigmented with brown; tarsus brown. Abdomen: connexival segments: red pigmented with brown; unarmed; urosternites laterally pale, ventrally red, with intersegmental suture dark brown. Macropterous form: brown except distally red. Hemelytra: corium and clavus red pigmented with brown and distally until membrane red; hemelytron 1.68 mm longer than abdomen; membrane hyaline-brownish. Female genitalia: posterior view: as in (Fig. 11 E). Gonocoxite VIII: sparse thin hairs (Fig. 12 E), anterior fibula curved (Fig. 12 E). Gonapophysis VIII: ventrally with abundant thin hairs (Fig. 12 E). Gonocoxite IX: distally and ventrally with abundant thin hairs, wide basally (Fig. 13 E).
Distribution: Costa Rica.
Material examined. HOLOTYPE, 1 Ƥ Costa Rica: Cordillera de Talamanca, [9°30'N – 83°40'W], Bovallius leg., (SMNH).
Measurements. As in Table 7.
Remarks. It superficially resembles R. coccinea and R. obscuripes but can be differentiated by having two dark brown longitudinal bands on posterior lobe of pronotum, each one reaching discal spines of posterior lobe of pronotum, femurs colored light brown basally and brown pigmented with red toward apex, and different body length, and genitalia traits.
Etymology. Named for its distribution in Costa Rica.
