Diagnosis.
Males of the species resembles to
C. lorenzo
sp. nov.
, by the presence of pairs of enlarged setae in the inner margin of the chelicerae paturon (
Figs 4D
,
5A
̅D, 23E), but can be distinguished form the last by the larger eyes and narrower clypeus (
Figs 3G
,
23E
). Females resembles those of
C. chicote
sp. nov.
,
C. lavras
sp. nov.
and
C. sternalis
sp. nov.
by the shape of the internal genitalia (
Figs 4B
,
19I
,
22F
,
30H
), can be distinguished from the last by the less projected posterior portion of sternum and from the other two species by the shape of the genitalia with shorter lateral apodems and oval, elongate receptaculum (
Figs 2G
,
4B
).

Chelicerae anterior face with swelling, three pairs of medial enlarged setae; retromargin without teeth; fangs without toothlike projections; setae antero-basal brush of very long forward directed setae; paturon inner margin with pairs of enlarged setae, laminate groove absent. Labium anterior margin not indented at middle. Endites anteromedian part forming a groove between serrula and the apical portion. ABDOMEN: rounded posteriorly; dorsum soft portions pale white. Book lung covers slightly elevated. Pedicel scuto-pedicel region unmodified, plumose setae absent. Dorsal scutum orange-brown, middle surface reticulate, sides reticulate. Epigastric scutum anterior spiracles secondary openings at level of epigastric furrow in an indent. Postepigastric scutum orange-brown, almost semicircular, without posteriorly directed lateral apodemes, with clear seam at furrow. Spinneret scutum large. LEGS: orange-brown. GENITALIA: Epigastric region with sperm pore circular, situated at level of posterior spiracles, rebordered. Palp proximal segments orange-brown. Conductor narrowing towards end (

Distribution.
This species is know from southern
Mexico
,
USA
(
Florida
) and the Caribbean region to northern
Argentina
.
Remarks.
The
type
specimens of
G. wasmanniae
have been examined and are clearly conspecific with
C. simplex
. We likewise treat
Lucetia distincta
as a synonym of
C. simplex
based on the description and illustrations provided by
Dumitresco & Georgesco (1983)
.
