Li & J. Liu leg.

Diagnosis.

The male of C. euryopoides differs from the males of other species by the mesal bristle of the embolic apophysis describing a semi-loop very close to the embolus base and a semi-loop around the bulb, and the straight median apophysis having a tapering tip ( Lopardo and Hormiga 2015: fig. 124B, E, F). The female of C. euryopoides can be distinguished from the other five species by having 9 coils of the copulatory ducts ( Fig. 1E View Figure 1 ), whereas other species have fewer coils. Moreover, C. euryopoides differs from C. anaktakun , C. discobulbus , and C. huifengi sp. nov. by having a posterior tubercle on the abdomen ( Fig. 1 A–C View Figure 1 ), whereas this tubercle is absent in the latter three species.

Description.

See Fig. 1 A–F View Figure 1 and Miller et al. (2009: 30). Male of this species remains unknown.

Distribution.

China (Yunnan) and Thailand (Chiang Mai) ( Fig. 6 View Figure 6 ).
