• Scrutiny:
  • Heads, 2010, Due to a printing error in Heads (2010, Zootaxa 2476: 23-29), R. furcata was not listed in any species group. From Günther's (1976: 358-361) original description it is clear that this species belongs in the Limbata-Marginata Group and appears to have close affinities with R. boliviana Bruner and R. cruciata Bruner.
