            <p>– Body length smaller than 5.0 mm..........................................................................2</p>
            <p> 2. Head oval, wider than elytra (HI—1:1.13~1.21, HEI—1: 1.06–1.10). Eye twice as long as temple (ETI—1.96–2.14). Elytra black, sometimes with a dark maroon tinge. Legs yellow. Male abdominal sternite VIII with two pairs of long symmetrically set bristles in the middle of a segment and posterior margin (Fig. 9). Aedeagus as in Fig. 17, 20...............  R . erichsonii </p>
            <p>– Head width equal to or less than elytra width, eye shorter than two temple lengths. Aedeagus different................... 3</p>
            <p> 3. Head oval, wider than long (HI ranges 1.13–1.14), as wide as or slightly narrower than elytra (HEI—1:0.97). Fourth segment of antennae clavate (4ASI—1:0.83–0.93) (Fig. 13).
