R. obliqualis had been widely confused with Hypena obacerralis in the past. Hypena masurialis was an unnecessary replacement name for R. obliqualis but most observations under this species name are probably Hypena obacerralis.[2]
Distribution and habitat
The moth is found across Africa and in parts of the Middle East.[3]
