Camptoscaphiella fulva Caporiacco, 1934: 118 View in CoL , pl. 1, fig. 1 (juvenile). Brignoli, 1976: 252.

TYPE: Juvenile lectotype, from Pakistan, Karakorum, Askole [35°59′ N, 75°49′ E], “zona aride sopra l’oasi,” 3000 m (May 1929, L. di Caporiacco), deposited at the Natural History Museum, Milan, not examined GoogleMaps .

DIAGNOSIS: Males can be easily recognized by the bulbal tip with two spinelike processes on either side of tip and a retrolateral fold. The females from India and Pakistan here assigned to the species were not collected together with males, but are a close match in somatic structure and add only a slight extension to the distribution shown by the few available males. Females can be recognized by their small pointed anterior sclerite and the short inverted drop-shaped copulatory duct (figs. 182–183).

MALE (PBI_OON 15528, figs. 200–209): Total length 1.27. Carapace, sternum chelicerae, endites, and labium yellow-brown. Eyes: ALE 0.048; PME 0.047; PLE 0.047, ALE largest, ALE
