What the sources say about this taxon, as written.

discussion · Plazi

Remarks. Montane species with a slightly different dorsal aspect of the stridulatory rib as given by Bailey (1975). Studies on the song have to be undertaken to bring light into this complex of montane-bound species. The species is flightless with shortened tegmina and reduced alae. Bailey (1975) stated that Ruspolia species in montanous areas of Africa probably reveal a common phylogenetic stock and have become isolated at their respective highland localities. Species similar to R. exigua are the West African species R. brevipennis (Chopard) and R. jaegeri (Roy) and the south-west African distributed species R. sarae Bailey. Records : 25
