Additionally, males are recognized by having at least two tegular apophyses – a median apophysis and a terminal, sclerotized conductor-like appendage – and are further characterized by a field of densely packed modified setae on the venter of the abdomen (Figs 3B–F, 10K–L, 14C–H; see also Lise et al. 2009: figs 13–14, 35; and Andía &amp; Grismado 2015: fig. 4b–c).

They differ from other congeners by the retrobasal origin of the embolus base and a similar shape of the tegular apophysis and conductor (Figs 5D–E, 6A vs Lise et al. 2009: figs 42, 45). However, males of C. ampullatus sp. nov. are distinguished by the shape of the elongate prong of the RTA (Figs 5B–C, 6B vs different shape and shorter, see Lise et al. 2009: fig. 44), the presence of one tooth on the cheliceral promargin only (Fig. 3A vs two teeth on promargin and one tooth on the retromargin, Mello-Leitão 1939: 58) and the field of modified, ampullate setae on the abdomen venter (Fig. 3C–F vs ventral cover with needle-like setae, see Lise et al. 2009: figs 46–47; see also Jocqué 1991: 50). The female is recognized by a bulb-shaped epigynal plate (Figs 6C, 9A–C), and the strongly enlarged, overlapping, flatworm-shaped copulatory ducts (Fig. 9D–F).</p><p>Etymology</p><p>In Latin, ‘ ampullatus ’ means ‘flask-shaped’ or ‘ampulla’.

Both species share a simple, claw-shaped conductor and a median apophysis roughly axe-shaped differing from all other congeners. However, the palp of C. spinosissimus sp. nov. has a differently shaped median apophysis (MA) (Figs 12E, 13A–B vs Lise et al. 2009: figs 37, 39). It can further be distinguished by the shape of the modified setae tightly grouped on the venter of the abdomen, which are spine-shaped (Fig. 10K–L vs curved spatulated setae, see Lise et al. 2009: 266), the fourth coxae with a brush of strong macrosetae (Fig. 10B, J vs absent) and the promargin of the chelicerae provided with two teeth (Fig. 10E–F vs absent).</p><p>Etymology</p><p>The term ‘ spinosissimus ’ is derived from the Latin word ‘ spinosus ’ and means ‘very spiny’. The specific epithet is an adjective and refers to the dense patch of short spine-like setae on the abdomen venter.</p><p>Material examined</p><p>Holotype BRAZIL • ♂; Piauí, Alvorada do Gurguéia, <a href="https://tb.plazi.org/GgServer/search?materialsCitation.longitude=-43.858887&amp;materialsCitation.latitude=-8.374445" title="Search Plazi for locations around (long -43.858887/lat -8.374445)">Fazenda Escola da Universidade Federal do Piauí</a>; 8°22′28″ S, 43°51′32″ W; 15–17 Feb. 2012; L.S.

These characteristics differentiate these species from all other congeners. However, C. malkini sp. nov. differs from C. tocantins by the shape of its tegular sclerites (Figs 16B, D, 17A–B, D–E vs Lise et al. 2009: fig. 63), and by the absence of a ventral process on both the coxae and femur of leg III (see Lise et al. 2009: fig. 62).</p><p>Remark</p><p>In the diagnosis of C. tocantins by Lise et al. (2009), a ventral process on femur IV is mistakenly mentioned. However, the description and the fig. 62 refer to a ventral process on both the coxae and femur of leg III, which should align with the observed morphology.</p><p>Etymology</p><p>The specific name is a patronym in honour of Borys Malkin a dedicated naturalist and collector of the holotype.</p><p>Material examined</p><p>Holotype BRAZIL • ♂; Mato Grosso, Santa Terezinha, <a href="https://tb.plazi.org/GgServer/search?materialsCitation.longitude=-50.506306&amp;materialsCitation.latitude=-10.470805" title="Search Plazi for locations around (long -50.506306/lat -10.470805)">Barra do Tapirapé</a>; 10°28′14.9″ S, 50°30′22.7″ W; 11–30 Dec. 1960; B.
