No taxon?
Since it is not a species but a species complex, shouldn't we use the "no taxon" page such as Diadasia australis especies group? That is what people have been doing.

Do you think we should create
Do you think we should create a species page on this one?

yes i do
this seems to be the commonest northeastern 'kind', and at this point the group is a taxonomic mess anyway, so chances to verify the sp. in foreseeable future are evanescent :)

Should I call it R. fasciatus
Should I call it R. fasciatus(complex)...is that ok?

good question
fasciatus complex, of course -- but i'm afraid with both words italicized this may be mistaken for a subspecific name... hyphenation may be a solution, like on this page
