Etymology.
Refers to the habitat, bromeliads.
Diagnosis.
Differs from other species by the larger and flatter body, the long legs, and the markings on the abdomen (Figs 152
–
159). Similar in palp to
Corythalia broccai
, but differs in the wider median septum of the epigynum (Fig. 163) and the shape of the vulva (Fig. 164).
