Helpful context

• Is there a particular genome assembly or organism your question is about? If possible, please provide a link to a publicly available assembly and/or a species name.

• Have you installed RepBase RepeatMasker Edition for RepeatMasker?

Sure. You would do this in two runs, first with "-species ..." and the second on the *.masked file (preferably renamed) with "-lib ...".
