Etymology.
Latin adjective
latus
(wide), referring to the wide first pair of legs in male.
Diagnosis.
Differs from
Corticattus guajataca
by the widened first pair of legs in male (Figs 126
–
129, 132), the thinner embolus (Fig. 134), the longer copulatory ducts (Fig. 138), the smaller epigynal window and the more laterally located opening to the copulatory duct (Fig. 137).
