Diagnosis. Males of C. peninsulanus comb. nov. are distinguished from those of the other species of the genus by the palp with vRTA1 absent, vRTA2 long and distally bifid with one projection rounded and the other covered with a bunch of strong setae. It is further distinguished by the embolus S-shaped with the same width throughout its entire length, except tip ( Rheims 2010c: 532, figs 5−6). Females are distinguished from the other species of the genus by the epigyne with median septum with lateral protrusions touching each other posteriorly ( Rheims 2010c, 532, fig. 7).
