The new species, however, can be distinguished from C. pseudokreteri based on the following differences: dorsal integument entirely covered with broken striae vs broken striae present only between dorsocentral setae c 1 – f 1, palp basifemur with 5 setae vs 6 setae, leg telofemur IV with 5 setae vs 4 setae, legs comparatively shorter, ranging from 281–385 vs legs very long, ranging from 553–790.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/910FEC2C918F5BD5A2D5D9895D0F5CFA	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
