Diagnosis. The species is most closely related to Rh. scutatus , but can be distinguished by having an entirely dark brown scutellum and long, erect setae on the hemelytron.

Redescription. Male. COLORATION ( Fig. 2 View FIGURE 2 M). Dorsal surface dark castaneous. Head. Antennal segment I dark brown; segment II brown with broad, pale ring above medial part; rostrum dark. Thorax. Pronotum. Anterior lobe darker than remainder of pronotum. Mesoscutum and scutellum. Mesoscutum dark brown, slightly tinged with red medially; scutellum dark brown, yellow apically. Thoracic pleura. Blackish dark brown; scent gland evaporatory areas dark brown. Hemelytron. Somewhat paler than remainder of dorsum; corium with yellow patch bordering apex of clavus, slightly tinged with red apically; clavus yellowish apically; embolium with reddish stripe along outer margin; cuneus red brownish, outer margin narrowly paler, inner angle yellow, slightly tinged with red. Legs. Mesoleg dark brown (other legs broken in the specimen examined, only coxa remained); coxa dark brown; forecoxa more shining; mesotibia and mesofemur dark brown. STRUCTURE AND VESTITURE ( Fig. 2 View FIGURE 2 M, 3C). Dorsal surface shining. Head. Shining; vertex and frons covered with moderately long, sparse, semidecumbent setae; frons slightly rugose medially; clypeus sparsely covered with erect setae; maxillary and mandibular plates without setae, shining; buccula matte; gula covered with long, reclining setae, slightly punctate between antenniferous tubercle and margin of eye; segment II mixed with relatively long, sparse, erect setae and with very dense, minute, erect, apically curved setae distributed on inner surface; rostrum reaching abdomen apically Thorax. Pronotum. Pronotal collar without setae, rounded, slightly rugose; anterior lobe covered with fine, sparse setae; posterior lobe covered with fine, sparse, reclining, pale setae; anterior lobe impunctate; pronotal calli slightly raised medially with distinct, thin longitudinal sulcus bordering distinct, finely punctate depression medially on pronotum; posterior lobe of pronotum shining. Thoracic pleura. Proepimeron impunctate anteriorly. Mesoscutum and scutellum. Mesoscutum smooth; scutellum rugose, mixed with erect and reclining setae. Hemelytron. Covered with moderately long, erect and semierect setae.

Female. Unknown.

Measurements. ɗ: body length 7.45, width 2.3. Head. Length 1.7, width 1.14, diameter of eye in dorsal view 0.28. Antenna. Length of segment I 1.45, II 2.0, remaining segments broken in the examined specimen. Labium obscured by glue, and immeasurable. Pronotum. Length 1.5, width of anterior margin 0.8, length of lateral margin 1.5, width of posterior margin 1.9.

Biology. Unknown.

Distribution. Indonesia (Mentawei Is.).

Type material. Holotype ɗ: Mentawei, Si Oban IV–VIII, Modigliani 94; Museo Civ. Genova; Rhinocylapus simplicicollis n. g. et sp.; HOLOTYPUS, Rhinocylapus simplicicollis B. Poppius, 1909 ( MCSN).
