R. schismatica Diagnostic Species Complex

The R. schismatica Diagnostic Species Complex can be distinguished by the following male genitalic characters: (1) Segment X in dorsal view has its apex shallowly incised, or straight or slightly convex distally; (2) the upper branch of the second joint of each inferior appendage is broad, at least 1/2 as wide as the lower branch or the same width as the lower branch in some species. It now contains 7 previously described species and 1 new species and 1 new subspecies. All members (including 1 new species and 1 new subspecies) occur in China, with R. morsei morsei distributed in the most northern part of the Oriental Biogeographic Region (Fig. 3).
