Type material. Female holotype (IBSP 138196) from Brazil, São Paulo, Piracicaba, W.C. Vasconcellos leg., examined.

Diagnosis. Males of R. litteratus differ from those of R. argenteus in the distinct bulging base of embolus ( Figs 9c View FIGURE 9 , 11e View FIGURE 11 , 14 View FIGURE 14 a–b, d). Females differ in the coupling pocket longer than wide and with a tubular shape ( Figs 9a View FIGURE 9 , 10e View FIGURE 10 , 13 View FIGURE 13 a–c).

Description. Female (holotype): Carapace brown, with one median, pale-yellow band ( Figs 10a, c View FIGURE 10 ). Ocular area pale-yellow ( Fig. 10c View FIGURE 10 ). Chelicerae pale-yellow with a dark spot at the proximal margin of the basal segment ( Fig. 10c View FIGURE 10 ), endites light brown at the base, gradually becoming lighter towards the apex ( Fig. 10d View FIGURE 10 ). Labium and sternum light brown ( Fig. 10d View FIGURE 10 ). Legs I and II brown, III and IV pale-yellow ( Fig. 10 View FIGURE 10 a–b). Legs I and II with five pairs of lateroventral macrosetae on the tibia and eight pairs on the metatarsus ( Fig. 10 View FIGURE 10 a–b). Anterior half of opisthosoma dark yellow, with a marginal brown band, one median, inverted V-shaped brown spot and two brown spots. Posterior half is pale-yellow ( Fig. 10a View FIGURE 10 ). Venter of opisthosoma, spinnerets and anal tubercle pale-yellow ( Fig. 10b View FIGURE 10 ).

Measurements. Total length 8.47, prosoma length 3.55, width 3.8, clypeus height 0.33, sternum length 1.65, width 1.63, opisthosoma length 4.92, width 4.31. Measurements of palp and legs: Palp: 2.59 (0.76, 0.38, 0.56, -, 0.89), I: 13.25 (3.91, 1.53, 3.3, 3.09, 1.42), II: 12.55 (3.8, 1.4, 3.09, 2.84, 1.42), III: 6.55 (2.28, 0.84, 1.53, 1.14, 0.76), IV: 7.14 (2.54, 0.84, 1.6, 1.4, 0.76).

Variation. Female (N=15), total length 6.75–9.74, prosoma length 2.84–4.06, width 3.2–3.96, opisthosoma length 3.5–5.83, width 3.3–6.34. The color pattern of females is very variable; prosoma and legs I and II can be brown to almost white; the dorsum of the opisthosoma can vary from dark brown with many spots to almost white, without spots ( Figs 1 View FIGURE 1 a–b, 12).

Male (from Brazil, Minas Gerais, Belo Horizonte, UFMG 5963): Color pattern as in the male of R. argenteus ( Figs 11 View FIGURE 11 a–d).

Measurements. Total length 3.44, prosoma length 1.53, width 1.73, clypeus height 0.23, sternum length 0.74, width 0.81, opisthosoma length 1.91, width 1.5. Measurements of palp and legs: Palp: 0.82 (0.51, 0.18, 0.13 -, 0.86), I: 7.89 (2.29, 0.76, 1.96, 1.81, 1.07), II: 7.65 (2.36, 0.71, 1.91, 1.86, 0.81), III: 3.48 (1.12, 0.25, 0.84, 0.76, 0.51), IV: 3,59 (1.12, 0.36, 0.84, 0.81, 0.46).

Variation. Male (N=24), total length 2.62–3.71, prosoma length 1.27–1.63, width 1.45–2.68, opisthosoma length 1.35–2.08, width 0.89–1.86.

Natural history. Like the other species of the genus, R. litteratus live in flowers. It has been collected in Gardenia jasminioides J. Ellis (Rubiaceae) (UFMG 22088), Bauhinia sp. ( Caesalpinioideae ) (UFMG 4104) and in Melostomataceae (UFMG 22086).

Distribution. Eastern Brazil, from the state of Paraíba to Rio Grande do Sul ( Fig. 15b View FIGURE 15 ).
