South-western Cob-web Spider Cryptachaea FP-13391

Discoverer: V.W. Framenau

The male pedipalp is compact, similar to C. veruculata in ventral view, but the conductor is smaller and less defined. The female epigyne is also close to that of C. veruculata, but instead of two triangular protrusions, it has two lateral blunt, scerotised lobes. Cryptachaea FP-13391 also lacks the large, white ventral abdominal patch of C. veruculata.
