d) Species-group: endyra .

Six species: C. claudia sp. nov., C. endyra, C. hannelore sp. nov., C. mirna sp. nov., C. monique sp. nov., and C. ykeyra .

Defined by the phallus shape with a distal bladder, that when everted, comprises three mesal diverticula (posterior, mesal, and ventral) (Pl. 20: Fig. 1–6). In addition by: i) male sternite VIII uniformly sclerotised and shows the posterior margin obtuse; ii) tegumen extended beyond articulation with saccus; iii) tergal lobes crab claw-shaped with or without projections; iv) pseudotegumen ribbed and expanded mesally; v) valvae digitiform and ribbed, and; vi) plates of the lamella antevaginalis with mesal corner projected and tapered.

Distribution. Coastal and mainland between Espírito Santo in southeastern Brazil and Santa Catarina in southern Brazil at altitudes between about 600 and 2200 m (Pl. 26: Fig. 1).
