TYPES: Male holotype, female allotype, male paratype, and female paratype from a mini- Winkler sample taken on the El Pity path in the Veragua Rainforest , Limón, Costa Rica (Mar. 19, 2009; M. Solis), deposited in INBIO (PBI_OON 51258) .

DIAGNOSIS: Males resemble those of C. nara (cf. figs. 177–187) and C. mooreorum (cf. figs. 395–405) but have a wider tip on the distal embolar prong (figs. 373–378); females have the posterior margin of the genital atrium medially enlarged (figs. 382, 383), and the epigastric furrow enlarged lateral to the spiracles (fig. 381).

MALE (PBI_OON 51258, figs. 373–378): Total length 2.08. Both processes on endite relatively long, narrow, forming pincerlike structure. Femora: I r1-1-0; II p0-0-1; metatarsus I v2-2-2. Embolus proximal prong long, narrow, distally sinuous; distal prong bifid, with long, straight, narrow, basal protrusion (N = 2).
