Description.Total length 13.2–15.5 mm. Body black, shining with antennomeres 4–11, palpi, tarsi and genital segment reddish brown; apex of last antennomere yellow. Head. Ovally quadrate (similar to Fig. 19); 1.22x as long as wide; dorsally and ventrally slightly convex; with very dense umbilicate punctures on dorsal surface and dense on ventral surface separated for less than twice their width ( Fig. 24); temple flattened, flat area with dense umbilicate punctures ( Fig. 28); eyes 0.28x as long as head, interocular distance 0.64x as wide as head (at eye level); first antennomere 1.76x as long as antennomeres 2–3 combined, apical antennomere 0.84x as long as antennomeres 9–10 combined; labrum slightly bilobed ( Fig. 54); with mandibular external channel; apical maxillary palpomere conical ( Fig. 40), and as long as preapical palpomere; apical labial palpomere asymmetrically conical ( Fig. 45). Thorax. Pronotum 1.42x as long as wide; as wide as head (0.96x); with dense fine punctures, except for wide longitudinal impunctate area; with poorly developed depressed area at each side of anterior third ( Fig. 51). Elytra as long as pronotum and as setose as pronotum. Prosternum with sparse, fine setae, setae as sparse as on meso and metasternum. Abdomen. Covered with fine setae as dense as those on the rest of the body; with long, pale setae on margins of each segment. Aedeagus. Ovally elongate, with base of median lobe widened; total length 3.36 mm; parameres 0.29x as long as median lobe; apical area of median lobe 0.19x total length of median lobe; internal sac with sclerotized structures ( Fig. 81). Variation.In addition to the variation in total length, the coloration of antennomeres 4–11, palpi, tarsi and genital segment varies from almost black to reddish brown, to red. The flattened area of the temple is slightly inclined and can be poorly visible. The depressed areas at each side of posterior third of pronotum can be slightly to moderately visible. Comparison.This species can be distinguished from the similar R. brasiliana, R. minorand R. lescheniby the temple of the head without temporal carinae, but with a flattened area and by its large aedeagus with internal sac with sclerotized structures.
Etymology.The name of this species refers to its geographic distribution, mainly in Mesoamerica, with the exception of some records from Ecuadorand Trinidad. Geographic distribution. Costa Rica, Ecuador, Nicaragua, Panamaand Trinidad.
