Diagnosis.
Males of
C
.
thorelli
closely resemble those of
C
.
simplex
, as both share a short embolus, but it can be separated from latter species by embolus with a smooth initial twist (vs. abrupt in
C
.
simplex
), and embolus is as wide as long (vs. with broad proximal and narrow distal halves in
C
.
simplex
) (cf.
Deeleman-Reinhold 1993
: fig. 27 with
Fig. 5E
). Females closely resemble to those of
C
.
javanum
, as both share mediolaterally placed copulatory openings, but it can be separated from the latter species by transversely oriented comma-shaped rims of the copulatory openings (vs. longitudinally oriented in
C
.
javanum
) (cf.
Fig. 6B
with
Deeleman-Reinhold 1993
: fig. 28).
Supplementary description.
Female
(
syntype
,
Fig. 6A
) in alcohol. AER moderately recurved, PER slightly procurved (
Fig. 6A
). Opisthosoma pear-shaped with small dorsal scutum restricted anteriorly (
Fig. 6A
).
Epigyne
(
Fig. 6B
): epigyne with concave posterior margin. Copulatory openings mediolaterally placed, with transversely oriented, comma-shaped rims (
Fig. 6B
).
Remarks.
Deeleman-Reinhold (1993)
redescribed this species based on
type
and non-type material collected from
Indonesia
.
