Fig. 7C View FIGURE 7

Distribution: This species was previously known from Ecuador ( Forthman & Gil-Santana 2021; Maldonado 1990; Stål 1872), Peru, and Brazil ( Dougherty 1995). Dougherty (1995) just listed Brazil and Peru as countries for this species, but so far, no precise localities are known for these two. This species is a new country record from Colombia.

Remarks: Based on the examined Colombian specimen, and the Ecuadorian records (both from Forthman & Gil-Santana 2021, and iNaturalist https://www.inaturalist.org/observations?place_id=7512&subview=map&taxon_ id=900445), R. immarginata seems to be restricted to the Amazon basin. Thus, it is likely that precise localities in Brazil and Peru could be found also in the Amazon.
