Chelicera paturon with two promarginal teeth, both with two cusps, and one retromarginal tooth with three curved cusps. Length of femur: I 1.05, II 0.72, III 0.69, IV 0.82; patella + tibia: I 1.39, II 0.85, III 0.75, IV 0.99; metatarsus + tarsus: I 0.82, II 0.69, III 0.75, IV 0.87. Leg formula: 1423. Leg spination: femur I ‒ II d 1 - 1 - 1, p 1 di, r 0; III d 0 - 1 - 1, p 1 di, r 1 di; IV d 1 - 1 - 1, p 1 di, r 1 di; patella I ‒ IV 0; tibia I p 0, r 0, v 2 - 0 - 2 a- 2; II p 0, r 0, v 1 r- 1 r- 1 r; III 0; IV p 0, r 0, v 2 di; metatarsus I ‒ II v 2 - 2; III ‒ IV p 2 di, r 2 di, v 2 di. Palp (Figs 12 D ‒ 12 F): tibia wider than long, RTA wider than long and hook-shaped; embolus fixed to the tegulum, arising proximally, with a path of 460 ° before the distal coil, with a torsion after 360 ° (Fig. 12 D). Color in alcohol: carapace as in C. bicruciata, with fewer white scales on the thoracic region, abdomen dorsum with a band of white scales anteriorly placed, extended to the sides as far as before anal tubercle; with two pairs and one large single posterior dark spot composed by dark hairs, separated by bands of white hairs (Fig. 12 A).

diagnosis
Diagnosis. Males resemble those of C. bicruciata and C. zoobotanica sp. nov. by having a spike on RvTA (Figs 12 D, 13 D). They differ from C. bicruciata by having a slight torsion between the 360 ° and 460 ° of the embolus length (Fig. 12 D), and from C. zoobotanica sp. nov. by having a shorter embolus (compare Figs 12 D and 13 D).
distribution
