Remarks. This species can be easily distinguished from other species in the C. simpliciforma Group by the shape of the inferior appendages of the male, each of which has a prominent dorsal hook-like process and an apex mesally curved and dorsoventrally flattened, and by the very short phallothecal spine.

Chimarra (Chimarrita) heppneri was previously known only from its type locality. Recently , it was reported for the first time from Brazil , in Maranhão state ( Northeast Region ) ( Desidério et al. 2017). Here we provide the first records of this species from Amazonas state, northern Brazil .
