Genus Corythalia C. L. Koch, 1850 View in CoL View at ENA
Small to large sized spiders. Corythalia can usually be distinguished from the closely related genus Anasaitis by the long and coiled embolus, the presence of a distinct epigynal window with median septum, and the longer copulatory duct.
Corythalia is one of the most diverse although poorly studied euophryine genera in the New World, with 73 species described ( Platnick 2011). The monophyly of this genus has never been tested and some species reported from the Caribbean Islands may be misplaced. The new species described here are placed in Corythalia because unpublished molecular data indicate that they fall into a clade with the other Corythalia species from the South and Central America.
