Diagnosis. Members of C. chamarreta sp. nov. resembles those of C. guama sp. nov. by having a similar pattern on abdomen and carapace (Figs 1C, 2C), but males can be distinguished by the morphology of the embolus tip, where the embolus opening is sub-apical, closer to the base of the spine-like projection (Figs 1D, 8A) (apical in C. guama sp. nov.: Fig.8C); females with a triangular posterior receptacle, with distally acute margins (Fig. 2E).

Description. Male (holotype): Carapace brown with a dark brown pattern as in Fig. 1C. Chelicerae, palps, endites, labium, sternum and legs light orangish brown (Fig. 1B); femora, patellae and tibiae of legs with dark brown stains, palpal femora and tibiae also with dark brown stains; coxae and trochanters lighter; abdomen pale gray, with dark brown dorsal chevron pattern as in Fig. 1A; anal tubercle and spinnerets lighter than abdomen. Total length 2.10. Carapace 0.60 long, 0.55 wide. Tegulum oval with embolus longer than tegulum width; with threepointed embolus tip as in Figs 1D, 8A, also with a spine-like projection and the embolus opening a little behind the tip, closer to the base of the spine-like projection. Female (paratype MPEG 37298): Carapace brown with a dark brown pattern as in Fig. 2C. Chelicerae, palps, endites, labium, sternum, coxae, legs, abdomen, anal tubercle and spinnerets as in male. Total length 2.25. Carapace 0.65 long, 0.60 wide. External genital area with weakly sclerotized area (Fig. 2D).
