Remarks

• Systematics: Slide-mounted adult female with: enlarged setae conical, sides straight, apices slightly rounded, marginal setae slightly longer than medial and mediolateral setae on abdomen, setae abundant over dorsal surface (Schmutterer, 1952). Lindinger (1957) incorrectly synonymized E. reynei with E. thymi (Hoy, 1963).Slide-mounted adult female with: enlarged setae conical, sides concave basally, apices acute, 2 or 3 sizes of setae, larger size tends to be marginal, but a few in medial and mediolateral areas of anterior abdomen and thorax, other setae scattered over rest of dorsum (Goux, 1991). Kozár, et al., 2013 considers R. tavignani as a synonym of R. reynei, as they could not find enough differences to treat them as separate species. However, they stated that the difference in host plants (Euphorbia sp. and Thymus sp.) deserved more attention.
