Etymology.
The specific epithet is from the combination of the prefix
tri-
(three) and the Latin
ramosa
(branched), and refers to the large three-forked tooth on the promargin of male chelicerae.
Diagnosis.
Differs from other species by the unique three-branched promarginal tooth and the one large and wide retromarginal tooth on the male chelicera (
Figs 86–87
). Similar in male palpal structure to
Canama forceps
(Doleschall)
(see Prószyṅski 1984, 1987), but can be easily distinguished by the shorter and wider male chelicera (
Figs 86–87
), the tooth pattern on the male chelicera (
Figs 86–87
), the wider palpal bulb and the shape of the retrolateral tibial apophysis of the male palp (
Figs 83–85
). Female is similar to
C. extranea
, but differs in the absence of dark markings in the eye area (
Figs 80
,
82
), the thicker and less convoluted copulatory duct of the vulva (
Fig. 90
).

Description.
Male
(
holotype
, UBC-SEM AR00088). Carapace length 2.1; abdomen length 2.5. Chelicera (
Figs 86–87
): yellow brown; robust with a tri-forked big tooth on promargin and an axe-like tooth on retromargin. Palp (
Figs 83–85
): yellowish to brownish. Cymbial distal groove more retrolateral. Proximal tegular lobe absent. Embolus long and coiled for about two circles. Retrolateral tibial apophysis finger-like. Femur of palp curved. Tibia of first leg with three pairs of ventral macrosetae; metatarsus with two pairs. Measurements of legs: I 6.5, II 5.1, III 5.6, IV 4.8. Color in alcohol (
Fig. 81
): carapace yellowish, eye area light orange; abdomen grayish without distinct markings; legs light yellow with yellow brown annuli. Body more greenish when alive (
Figs 77–79
).
Female
(
paratype
, UBC-SEM AR00089). Carapace length 2.0 (variation 2.0–2.2, n=3); abdomen length 3.2. Chelicera (
Fig. 88
): with a long bicuspid retromarginal tooth. Tibia of first leg with three pairs of ventral macrosetae; metatarsus with two pairs. Measurements of legs: I 4.2, II 3.7, III 4.7, IV 4.4. Epigynum (
Figs 89–90
): window with a narrow median septum; opening at posterior end of window close to median septum. Copulatory duct long and convoluted with a gland-like process near the beginning. Color in alcohol (
Fig. 82
): similar to that of male, but eye area of carapace yellow, abdomen orange with symmetrical gray markings. Body more greenish when alive (
Fig. 80
).
