Diagnosis
. According to
Bayer et al. (2020)
, the females of
Corythalia spiralis
(
Figures 34, 36
), can be distinguished from females of all other
Corythalia
species
by their lack of epigynal windows, and the rather spiral or helical structure of epigynal ducts (
Figure 36
; see
Bayer et al. 2020
, figs. 54C, 55A 74H). In dorsal view the epigyne has slightly widened secondary spermathecae, distinctly rounded at the front with a straight margin at the rear, primary spermathecae slightly widened and clearly elongated, vulva with an elongated blind sac lateral to the primary spermathecae (see
Bayer et al. 2020
, figs. 54D–E, 55B– C, 78G–H). This blind sac is wider and longer than the primary spermathecae (see
Bayer et al. 2020
, figs. 54D, 55B, 78G–H).
