ETYMOLOGY: The specific name is a noun in apposition taken from the
type
locality.
DIAGNOSIS: Males and females have not been taken together, but are paired here because of their respective resemblances to
C. keira
. Males differ from those
C. keira
in having a straight retrolateral tibial apophysis (fig. 459) and larger embolar apophysis (fig. 458), females in having a more triangular epigynum (fig. 460).
MALE: Total length 6.7. Coloration as in
C. keira
except abdominal venter with only about three small sclerites in each paramedian row. Leg spination: femora: II p011; III p011, r011; IV r011; tibiae III, IV p011; metatarsi III, IV p011, v21p1p, r011. Retrolateral tibial apophysis not bent, dorsoventrally flattened at tip (fig. 459); embolar apophysis large, protuberant, tegular apophysis with extremely narrow apical projection, median apophysis dorsoventrally flattened (fig. 458).
