Comments.

This species is known solely by females and was recorded in Armenia and Azerbaijan (Nentwig et al. 2024; WSC 2024). From other species in the histrio group, it can be easily distinguished by a dense transverse brush of bristles in front of spinnerets (Logunov and Huseynov 2008, figs 17–18). It is the first record of R. rikhteri in Georgia.
