Description

See Hsiao (1944) for further diagnostic characters.

FEMALE GENITALIA. Bursa copulatrix nearly ovoid; sclerotized ring rounded; dorsal labiate plate (DLP) narrow, elongate toward caudal direction; seminal depository strongly inflated, globose, with pair of large, ovoid rings ( Figs 37, 39–40 View Figs 37–42 ); posterior wall of bursa copulatrix membranous, covered with minute, brush-like microprocesses ( Fig. 38 View Figs 37–42 ); gonapophysis 8 broadened subapically and distinctly pointed apically ( Fig. 41 View Figs 37–42 ); gonapophysis 9 pointed apically, strongly serrate subapically ( Fig. 42 View Figs 37–42 ).

Rhinophrus borneensis can be distinguished from R. hsiaoi by black antennal segment I (brown in R. hsiaoi ) and the shape of the parameres ( Gorczyca 1996).
