Remarks

• Systematics: The redescription of this species by Kozár & Konczné Benedicty (2004), was based on speciemns from Hungary, which were compared with type material. Danzig & Gavrilov-Zimin speculated that since the description of R. periolana Goux, provided by Kozár & Konczné Benedicty (2007) based on females from Hungary and Turkey, had numerous tubular ducts on both body sides, that it was a misidentification of R. ornata.
• Structure: Antennae 6-segmented Cephalic plate present. Both pairs of ostioles present. Circulus strongly convex, conical. (Danzig & Gavrilov-Zimin, 2015)
• Biology: Living on roots of its host plant.
• General Remarks: Description and illustration of adult female by Goux (1985a), Kozár & Konczné Benedicty (2004) and by Kozár & Konczné Benedicty (2007).
