Type Material

            Holotype: "Male holotype and immature female from Barstow, San Bernardino County, California, June 16, 1950 (J. W. MacSwain), in the American Museum of Natural History" (Muma, 1962, p. 30). "Dentition of chelicerae similar to that of C. regalis with following ex-ceptions: right chelicera with supernumerary intermediate tooth on movable finger; only one distinguishable aborted tooth on fixed finger; remnants of aborted teeth present on C. regalis as denticules (fig. 42); fixed finger straight apically (fig. 43). Structure otherwise very similar to that of C. regalis. Scopula on meta-tarsus of palpus composed of about 80 papillae and extending about three-fourths of length of segment" (Muma, 1962, p. 30).

            Measurements: Male Holotype: Total length, 23.0 mm. Chelicerae 6.1 mm length; 1.2 mm width. Propeltidium 2.5 mm. Palpi 23.0 mm. Firtst legs 13.0 mm. Fourth legs 25.5 mm.

            Females: "No adult females of this species have been seen, but there is a young female in the vial with the holotype. Its dental pattern is quite similar to that of the female of C. regalis except for a supernumerary intermediate tooth between the principal and medial teeth of the right fixed finger" (Muma, 1962, p. 30).

Diagnosis: "This species is most closely related to C. regalis, from which it differs by having a straight fixed finger, in dorsal view, and a reduced number of aborted teeth on the fixed finger" (Muma, 1962, p. 30).
