Remarks.
This species typically has a slightly thorny cephalis and thorax, with small, regular pores, and one slight dimple on thorax. The cephalis exhibits one main forked spine. This species is very similar to
Ceratocyrtis
sp. E
(pl. 13, figs. 7A–8), but differs in that the primary cephalic horn is forked.
