Diagnosis. Members of C. guama sp. nov. resembles those of C. chamarreta sp. nov. and C. alayoni by having a similar pattern on abdomen and carapace with a well-defined brown carapace pattern and a dorsally marked threelined light gray chevron pattern on the abdomen (Figs 5C, 6C), but males can be distinguished by the morphology of the embolus tip, where the embolus opening is apical, just at the tip (Fig. 8C) (sub-apical, closer to the base of the spine-like projection in C. chamarreta sp. nov.: Fig. 8A); females with a triangular posterior receptacle, with anterior margins somewhat rounded distally (Fig. 6E).

Chelicerae, palps, endites, labium, sternum and legs light grayish brown; femora, patellae, tibiae and metatarsi 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. 5A; anal tubercle and spinnerets lighter than abdomen. Total length 2.50. Carapace 0.90 long, 5.1 wide. Tegulum oval with embolus longer than tegulum width; embolus tip shape as Figs 5D, 8C, with a spine-like projection and the opening at the tip. Female (paratype MPEG 37305): Carapace brown with a dark brown pattern as in Fig. 6C. Chelicerae, palps, endites, labium, sternum, coxae, legs, abdomen, anal tubercle and spinnerets as in male.
