Diagnosis

Differs from all other congeners, except C. nicholausgordoni sp. nov., by its reddishbrown carapace with the black caput and seven radially arranged black spots in the thoracic area, and by the presence of the dark longitudinal ventral band. From C. nicholausgordoni sp. nov. it differs by the black femora with whitish longitudinal stripes on the dorsal face. Males also differ by the presence of the retrolateral process in palpal tibia with a cluster of numerous spiniform setae (Figure 18e).
