)

)
Cyclosternum majus
Franganillo, 1926: 44
, comb.:
Franganillo, 1931: 171
(
Cyrtopholis debilis bispinosa
).
Type-material:
Holotype
female (
IES 34
) from Luyan (2310’S 8234’W),
Havana
,
Cuba
. Two
paratypes
, one female (
IES 36
) and one juvenile (
IES 44
), same data of
holotype
.
Diagnosis:
females of
Cyrtopholis major
can be distinguished from those of all other species by the aspect of the spermathecae: it is the only species with seminal receptacles without a subapical constriction (
Fig. 14
). Anterior, middle and posterior sternal sigilla elongated and near the margin (
Fig. 11
). Labium with numerous cuspules (88) (
Fig. 11
), similar to
C. unispina
(69 cuspules). The specific epithet refers to the size of lateral eyes (ALE and PLE), that are larger (
0.45 mm
) than the others (PME,
0.25 mm
and PLE,
0.35 mm
) (
Fig. 13
). Absence of projection on cephalothorax, such as hump (
Fig. 20
), present in
C. gibbosa
,
C. regibbosa
and
C. bryantae
.
