Camptoscaphiella hilaris Brignoli, 1978: 33 , figs. 1–3 (♂).

TYPE: Male holotype from Bhutan, Thimphu, 27°26′N, 89°40′E (31 May 1972, W. Wittmer), deposited in NMB (2296a, PBI_OON 23376), examined .

DIAGNOSIS: Males can easily be separated from all other species by the rectangular cymbium, the long triangular medially bent tip and prolateral spinelike process at the distal part of the bulb (fig. 164).

MALE (PBI_OON 23376, figs. 220–227): Total length 1.62. Carapace yellow-brown, pars cephalica strongly elevated in lateral view, surface of elevated portion and sides of pars cephalica finely reticulate. Clypeus margin unmodified, straight in front view, sloping forward in lateral view. Eyes: ALE 0.065, PME 0.060; PLE 0.060, ALE largest, ALE circular, PME oval, PLE oval; posterior eye row straight from both above and front; ALE-PLE touching, PME touching for less than 1 ⁄ 2 their length. Sternum as long as wide, pale orange, not fused to carapace, surface finely reticulate, sternum heart shaped with bulged anterolateral corners. Chelicerae, endites, and labium yellow. Abdomen oval, scutae pale orange; dorsal scutum covering 1 ⁄ 2 to 3 ⁄ 4 of abdomen, between 1 ⁄ 4 and 1 ⁄ 2 abdomen width, not fused to epigastric scutum. Postepigastric scutum only around epigastric furrow. Epigastric region with large, circular sperm pore. Palp (figs. 164–166, 225–227) orange-brown; patella: L, 0.51 mm; P, 0.28 mm; PR, 0.54; H, 0.16 mm; L/H,
