Remarks

• Systematics: The adult male of Rh. kazachstanus appears to be a typical apterous rhizoecine male but differs from the other apterous species seen here in having the following combination of character states: (i) few setae on body; (ii) only hs setae on basal 4 antennal segments; (iii) absence of loculate pores dorsally on thorax; (iv) trochanter with 2 campaniform pores; (v) trochanter with strong Y-shaped sclerotisations; (vi) tarsal digitules with blunt or slightly capitate apices, (vii) 10-segmented antennae, each flagellate segment broadest at distal end, and (viii) a transverse new-moon-shaped anal opening.
