DIAGNOSIS: Males resemble those of C. leones (cf. figs. 261–267) but have a longer, narrower proximal embolar prong (figs. 166–171); the female here tentatively matched with the male has a small, oval genital atrium with a thick posterior margin (figs. 175, 176).

MALE (PBI_ OON 27677 View Materials , figs. 166–171): Total length 1.72. Endite ventral process ventrally arched, forming pincerlike arrangement with dorsal process. Femur II p0-0-2, r0-1-0. Embolus proximal prong very long, very narrow; distal prong with distal crest, crest pointed at both ends (N = 1).

FEMALE (PBI_ OON 51267 View Materials , figs. 172–176): Total length 2.02. Leg I missing, leg II spination typical. Genital atrium wide, with rebordered posterior margin (N = 1).
