(Figure 2 a–c; Table 2)
Examined Material: A female labeled “ R. obesa . Tube N° 1085/2116, specimen N° 2419”. A male specimen with the terminalia disarticulated labeled “ R. obesa . Tube N° 1085/2116, specimen N° 2419”.A wing in a slide numbered as 2365. Specimens from Deodoro, Rio de Janeiro, RJ, Brazil. All specimens are deposited in the Coleção Entomológica do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz (CEIOC)/ Fiocruz.
Diagnosis. General body color brownish; front covered with ca. 200 scattered interfrontal setulae.

Body length ca. 5.00 mm.
Description. Head (Fig. 2c). Front ventrally brownish and superiorly yellowish, covered with ca. 200 scattered interfrontal setulae; ocellar triangle yellowish (or brown in some specimens) with dark brown ocelli.
