DIAGNOSIS: Males of this dark-bodied species resemble those of
C. espavel
(cf. figs. 348– 358) in having a translucent flange on the distal embolar prong, but have a shorter proximal embolar prong (figs. 439–444); females have heavily sclerotized, arched posterior genitalic elements (figs. 448, 449).

Femora: I r0-1-1; II p0-0-1; tibia I v4-4-2; metatarsus I v2-2-2. Embolus proximal prong excavated on distal side; distal prong with translucent, relatively narrow proximal flange (
N =
13).
FEMALE (PBI_OON 29756, figs. 445–449): Total length 2.12. Spination typical. Genital atrium almost rectangular, followed posteriorly by medially divided sclerotization (
N =
4).
