Diagnosis
Ravelo (1977) provided a diagnosis of the species in which it was compared only with Charinus tronchonii (Ravelo, 1975). The diagnosis is updated here based on the original description. This species may be separated from other Charinus in Amazonia and northern South America by means of the following combination of characters: median and lateral eyes absent; cheliceral claw with five teeth; tibia of leg I with 23 articles, tarsus I with “a bit more than 40 articles”; pedipalp femur with two dorsal spines and two ventral spines decreasing in size from proximal to distal; pedipalp patella with three dorsal spines and two ventral spines, and with large setiferous tubercle between spine I and distal margin; pedipalp tibia with two dorsal spines; leg IV basitibia with three articles (Ravelo 1977 considered the leg IV basitibia to have four articles as he (and Quintero 1983) counted the distitibia as part of the basitibia); leg IV distitibia trichobothrium bc situated closer to sbf than to bf; sc and sf, series each with five trichobothria.
Etymology
Patronym honoring Carlos Bordón, founder of the Venezuelan Society of Speleology and collector of the type series (Ravelo 1977).
Type material
Holotype VENEZUELA • ♂; Zulia, Maracaibo district, Cerro Verde Cave; [10°39′16.02″ N, 71°42′53.26″ W]; MBSVE 606 [not examined].
Paratypes VENEZUELA • 1 ♂; same collection data as for holotype MBSVE 607 [not examined] • 1 ♀; same collection data as for holotype; MBSVE 605) [not examined] • 1 ♂; same collection data as for holotype; MBSVE 608 [not examined] • 1 ♀; same collection data as for holotype; MBSVE 609 [not examined] • 1 juv. ♀; same collection data as for holotype; MBSVE 6010 [not examined].
Measurements
See Table 2.
Distribution
Known only from the type locality.
Natural history
Charinus bordoni was found only inside caves in the aphotic zone which, in combination with the complete absence of eyes, indicates it a troglobitic species (Ravelo 1977; Delle Cave 1986).
Remarks
Ravelo (1977) described this species in the genus Speleophrynus. Quintero (1983) revised topotypes of Speleophrynus bordoni Ravelo, 1977 and Speleophrynus tronchonii, and considered them to be Charinides based on the number of pseudo-articles in the basitibia of leg IV. Delle Cave (1986) was the first to place in doubt the classification based on the number of pseudo-articles in the basitibia of leg IV and transferred S. bordoni and S. tronchonii to Charinus.
