The male terminalia of R. albopilosa and R. calvimontis are identical. They differ slightly on the basis of whitish setae on thorax and abdomen in the former compared to yellowish setae in the latter. Also legs generally with more numerous and longer setae in R. calvimontis, especially on the mid femur. The differences in setation are not considered to justify separate species recognition.
