description
Muma,
1962: 26 (fig 41), 28 (key), 29:
MALE HOLOTYPE:
Total length, 23.0 mm.
LENGTH WIDTH
Chelicerae 7.4 mm. 2.4 mm.
Propeltidium 3.5 4.5
Legs and palpi
mangled and not measurable.
Specimen shriveled and faded by preservation, but color in alcohol
apparently similar to that of regalis.
Dentition
also similar to that of C.
regalis. The most striking difference in dentition is the
constriction and attenuation of the fixed finger of the present species
(fig. 41). Another distinct difference is the complete lack of fondal
teeth I and II on this species, whereas C.
regalis has these teeth small but distinct. In
addition there are two tiny supernumerary intermediate teeth on the
movable finger.
Structure similar to that of
C. regalis, but this species lacks
a scopula on the metatarsus of the palpus whereas C. regalis has a basal
scopula composed of numerous papillae.
