Remarks.-

We tentatively identified this species to be similar to R. profunda Liu & Kang, 2007. We compared our single specimen (a male) with the descriptions of all species of Rectimarginalis Liu & Kang, 2007 (see Liu and Kang 2007) and images of the type specimen from OSF ( Cigliano et al. 2018). Although R. profunda is not found in Borneo, our specimen resembles this species in its tenth abdominal tergite, subgenital plate, and genitalia, and is more similar to R. profunda than to its congeners found closer to or in Borneo [i.e. R. fuscospinosa (Brunner von Wattenwyl, 1891) and R. ensis (Haan, 1843), respectively]. There are some small differences in the male tenth abdominal tergite and genitalia. We require more material for verification since only one specimen was collected from light trapping.
