Diagnosis. Males of the species resembles to C. lorenzo sp. nov., by the presence of pairs of enlarged setae in the inner margin of the chelicerae paturon ( Figs 4D View FIGURES 4 , 5A View FIGURES 5 ̅D, 23E), but can be distinguished form the last by the larger eyes and narrower clypeus ( Figs 3G View FIGURES 3 , 23E View FIGURES 23 ). Females resembles those of C. chicote sp. nov., C. lavras sp. nov. and C. sternalis sp. nov. by the shape of the internal genitalia ( Figs 4B View FIGURES 4 , 19I View FIGURES 19 , 22F View FIGURES 22 , 30H View FIGURES 30 ), can be distinguished from the last by the less projected posterior portion of sternum and from the other two species by the shape of the genitalia with shorter lateral apodems and oval, elongate receptaculum ( Figs 2G View FIGURES 2 , 4B View FIGURES 4 ).

Description. Male ( PBI _OON 01308). Total length: 1.67. CEPHALOTHORAX: Carapace orange-brown, broadly oval in dorsal view, pars cephalica slightly elevated in lateral view, surface of elevated portion of pars cephalica granulate, sides granulate; lateral margin without denticles. Clypeus curved downwards in front view, high, ALE separated from edge of carapace by their radius or more, around AME diameter. Eyes relatively large, all subequal; ALE separated by more than their diameter, PLE-PME separated by less than PME radius. Sternum orangebrown, fused to carapace, furrow with rows of small pits, surface finely punctuate, microsculpture medially and in furrows, anterior margin with semicircular depression in the middle half, posterior margin not extending posteriorly of coxae IV, setae originating from surface. Mouthparts: Chelicerae, endites and labium orange-brown. Chelicerae anterior face with swelling, three pairs of medial enlarged setae; retromargin without teeth; fangs without toothlike projections; setae antero-basal brush of very long forward directed setae; paturon inner margin with pairs of enlarged setae, laminate groove absent. Labium anterior margin not indented at middle. Endites anteromedian part forming a groove between serrula and the apical portion. ABDOMEN: rounded posteriorly; dorsum soft portions pale white. Book lung covers slightly elevated. Pedicel scuto-pedicel region unmodified, plumose setae absent. Dorsal scutum orange-brown, middle surface reticulate, sides reticulate. Epigastric scutum anterior spiracles secondary openings at level of epigastric furrow in an indent. Postepigastric scutum orange-brown, almost semicircular, without posteriorly directed lateral apodemes, with clear seam at furrow. Spinneret scutum large. LEGS: orange-brown. GENITALIA: Epigastric region with sperm pore circular, situated at level of posterior spiracles, rebordered. Palp proximal segments orange-brown. Conductor narrowing towards end ( Fig. 6E View FIGURES 6 ), distal tip narrow and subdistally downwards curved. Embolar tip a longer translucent tube bearing a same sized embolar distal process. Embolic prolateral process with narrow translucent distal area ( Fig. 2C View FIGURES 2 ).

Female (Lectotype, PBI _OON 05497). Abdomen detached; right legs I̅II missing. As in male except as noted. Total length: 1.78. CEPHALOTHORAX: Mouthparts: paturon inner margin with scattered setae. Labium anterior margin indented at middle. ABDOMEN: Epigastric scutum anterior spiracles at epigastric furrow under a fold in the same longitudinal line of booklungs, secondary spiracles inconspicuous. GENITALIA: internal genitalia large, dome shaped, with short lateral apodemes and oval receptaculum ( Figs 2G View FIGURES 2 , 4B View FIGURES 4 ).
