Cnodalia harpax
Thorell, 1890
Diagnosis
(we have studied a male specimen of
Cnodalia harpax
from
Japan
). Males of this species can be distinguished from those of
C. quadrituberculata
n. sp.
by the embolus without a membranous lamella found in that of
C. quadrituberculata
n. sp.
Males of
C. harpax
can be distinguished from those of
C. flavescens
n. sp.
by the tapered tip of embolus (cap-shaped in
C. flavescens
n. sp.
). According to
Tanikawa (2006
,
2007b
) females of
C. harpax
can be distinguished from those of
C. quadrituberculata
n. sp.
by having the abdomen with only two humps (four in
C. quadrituberculata
n. sp.
), the epigynum 1.9 times wider than its length (1.5 times in
C. quadrituberculata
n. sp.
). Females of
harpax
differ from those of
C. flavescens
n. sp.
by having the abdominal humps extended frontward (upturned in
C. flavescens
n. sp.
).
