Description

Material examined

No specimen of this species was found.

Diagnosis and remarks

Type of R. recurvispina from 1949 is destroyed or lost ( Wu 1962). The description in the original literature is not detailed and the drawing is very poor (Fig. 2 ). The distinguishing characteristics of this species are also not sufficient: there is no obvious sclerotized area on tergum 9 of this species (Fig. 2 A). We therefore regard R. recurvispina as a nomen dubium after we failed many times to collect this species from the type locality.

Type locality

China, Fujian Province (Ta-chu-luan, Shao-wu).

Distribution

China (Fujian).
