diagnosis

Diagnosis. Females can be distinguished from those of Caribena laeta comb. n. by spermathecae with accentuated outwards curvature medially and by lacking intumescence on apex (Fig. 230). Males differ from males of Caribena laeta comb. n. by developed prominence on tegulum (Fig. 246), embolus medial portion and tegulum's margin form an acute angle in retrolateral view (Fig. 245) and by very curved shape of basal part of embolus in frontal view (Fig. 246).
